When you said no problems, was yours unlocked before? What have you done to your iphone just jailbreak and third party mods?

i wonder if i should i take mine back before something happens and they wont accept it

Anyone who has been with Apple for a while should know not to install updated software until a bunch of early updaters have a chance to complain about what is broken and what is fixed in the latest version.

Besides? Who really needs a wifi iTunes store anyway?

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - where are the greedy tobacco lawyers when we need them.

Apple is going down the same road that almost put them out of business last time, shitting on customers (and the best paying ones at that)

I was thinking the same thing. Don't they see the bad publicity from this coming? After the price drop marketing plan spoiled by angry early adopter complaints and a soon to come international out cry over "in limbo'ed" iPhones they may take a hit in the upcoming holiday season.

They refused mine, i even brought up the Magnuson-Moss Act, still no luck. Im calling the FTC and BBB and Cooperate for Apple. This isn't over

i just updated one that was broken out and it worked fine.

My thought is Apple should treat the iPhone as what it is - a handheld PC which runs a streamlined version of OS X. If you sent in a MacBook which refused to boot after you installed some third party software, Apple wouldn't say, "Sorry, you violated your warranty." They'd probably say, "Either you can contact the authors of the software for a fix, or we can reset your laptop to factory specs. You'll lose some data, but for sure it will be booting up when you get it back."

Why not take the same approach with the iPhone? If you bring it in and it's giving the SIM error, offer to flash it back to factory specs for you. If it was jailbroken, it won't be anymore, and of course it will be locked to ATT again. They don't examine the phone or waste anytime, they just flash it to a "new" condition, if that's what the customer wants (the customer is welcome to keep their bricked phone if they prefer, and hope the Dev Team comes up with a fix).

To me, this satisfies Apple's reluctance to support third party development, satisfies their contract with AT&T, and lets people who bought iPhones continue to use them, at least as far as originally intended by Apple.

Plus it's not an exchange, it's just a reset of the existing phone.

My IMEI matches the one on the phone but my ICCID doesn't match the one on the box. Couldn't they tell from that too?

[McGeeTM]

sounds like a lawsuit coming soon lol

[obajoba]

Your ICCID is tied to your SIM if I can remember correctly.

Who said all of the GoPhones were bricking, both of mine are bricked and they were both GoPhones. Wondering now... My IMEI does match and my girlfriend bought them on her discover card last week. Going to try within the 14 day return, threaten to cancel my contract and last but not least, we can always dispute with Discover...

Unhacked GoPhones = bricks?

[Stylez]

excuse me for my ignorance, but what's a "gophone"?

[AxPxE]

So you're saying even GoPhones brick?? I'm curious what kind of bricking results you got after you updated to 1.1.1?

@Stylez

GoPhone is the prepaid service on AT&T.

A pre-paid AT&T account.

Tried that. They still looked at the IMEI number on the phone and said no way
