The Apple iPhone was undoubtedly one of the highest profiled launches of any single mobile phone in the world, but it was also one of the most controversial. This was because Apple chose to work intimately with phone network operators on the iPhone model, instead of producing a SIM-free smart-phone like some the other phone manufacturers. This meant that the iPhone was restricted to one single network, severely limiting who could buy the phone and how and where they could use it. In addition to this a minimum two year contract restriction was also placed on the iPhone, further limiting its appeal to the customer.
Even loyal fans of Apple were disappointed with the restrictions placed on what had been such an eagerly awaited product, and the backlash was that hundreds of iPhone owners found ways to bypass the product’s factory settings, in effect ‘hacking’ into the phone to unlock the network restrictions. Apple retaliated against this hacking by implementing asoftware update that would interfere with any non-standard applications, and effectively neutralise unlocked iPhones so that they could no longer be used. This update however was not completely effective and this process to unlock iphone is still popular among iPhone users, with whole websites currently dedicated to the task.
