@Steve@...
The real truth of the matter is.... That Apple realizes what anyone with a few brain cells can understand. The shmucks who wrote that lovely Jail Breaking SW don't do it for free nor out of the kindness of their hearts... When you Jail Break an iPhone, you just installed Malware, keyloggers, etc. And if you install additional junk apps on your Jail Broken iPhone, there is no telling what kinds of havoc they can cause with the device and your identity. And Apple is not going to be responsible for either, so they take a public stance against Jail Breaking your iPhone.
Apple is essentially saying that if you install cr@p on your iPhone, then it's all on you, and don't expect us to pay employees (tech support) to sort out your self imposed stupidity.
And you know what... I get that. Personally, I love the garden... There are more choices inside the walls then outside the walls. And I have confidence in the safety and reliability of all the hundreds of thousands of apps within the walls.
So you guys can Jail Break your iphones till your blue in the face. Or... Go with those roid phones which you might get to update once a year and have 50K of Apps, (Half of which work on any gven phone model) to choose from... I'll stick with my iPhone and the value I see in that walled garden you bozos are afraid of.
