But he hacked a phone. HIS phone. If I buy, say a game, and I hack it (mod) i dont go to jail. Big difference between hacking government or corporate computers and a simple commercial device. if he had say hacked into the irs or fbi, yeah he would go to jail, the whole shabang.

That way you’ll save yourself the hassle of getting your phone unlocked later. If you’re looking for a new phone anyway, why not buy it already unlocked?

If he bought the iPhone, its now HIS phone. He can do whatever he wants with it.. Even destroy it... Of course, Apple reserves the right to void the warranty of the product, but they can't do anymore than that.. When the phone was bought, it stopped belonging to apple, thus apple lost its rights over what can be done with that specific phone - simply because they don't OWN it anymore, the guy does. Looks like you'd like to see phones with DRM like mp3: you buy them, but you can only use them the very specific way the manufacturer allows you to. Why would the guy go to jail?

The kid was not out for fame, just tinkering, minds like his are the reason that gadgets such as the iPhone even exist. Think about it.
