September 29, 2007 Apple Inc. issued a software update that creates problems for modified IPhones to work with cellular carrier other than AT&T Inc. and it disables at least some unofficial programs installed other than Iphone Handsets.Several gadget enthusiast Web sites, including Gizmodo and Engadget, as well as online postings from hacker communities reported that, depending on which unlocking program was used, certain modified phones no longer worked after they installed Thursday's software update. In some cases, the phones worked, but only with the original SIM card that ties the phone to AT&T.
Some hackers had characterized Apple's warning as "a scare tactic." Despite Apple's history of playing cat-and-mouse games with hackers in the past, company officials insisted they were "not proactively" trying to make hacked iPhones useless.
Installing Apple's latest iPhone update is optional.
