Not a fanboy but Apple is in the clear here. Forget the iPhone for a minute. You install OS X and then because you found the terminal, decided to go changing things in the OS and stuff. Then the next OS Update comes out and in the process overwrites your changes. Is it Apple being malicious? Of course not, Apple isn't responsible for what you did to OS X after they gave it to you. Similarly, if an OS update comes out and breaks current functionality (feature not a bug) then Apple would be on the hook Cause they broke something you paid for. Now in terms of the iPhone, it's been clear from before day 1: No installing stuff onto the phone. You purchased it "as is". They have no idea what you may or may not have installed on your iPhone after purchase nor, should they care. To expect Apple to test out each and every different third party app while they make an update to the product they sold with a certain expressed limitations, is ridiculous. To go to the car analogy, since someone brought it up. If you were to purchase a car that required Premium gasoline to run, and you put in disel fuel in it and therefore kill your engine, YOU are responsible. Similarly should you decide to put in an additive in the engine that causes a cylinder to seize, No manufacturer in their right mind would warranty repair that. Similarly should you put on aftermarket parts like say a turbocharger that blows a piston ring. No manufacturer is going to warranty repair that. So Apple is fully within' it's rights and obligations to provide updates to the iPhone. The user had a choice to update or not to update. If they do not understand the consequences of hacking a device then they shouldn't be hacking a device. Period. And really I think it's funny that we're talking about this seeing as any Nokia update wipes any apps you've installed and took away a feature we had before.
