Apple supplied a device that wasn't supposed to be changed or modified by the owner - why should Apple now be held responsible if new firmware fails to work correctly with a modified iPhone? Should Apple be expected to test their future firmware with every unauthorised hack available on the internet?

Apple have made the situation pretty clear, it's up to the iPhone owners if they want to accept the consequences. iPhone owners are certainly not breaking any laws by "hacking" their iPhones and I'm glad to see it happening, but blaming Apple for not supporting iPhones with unauthorised software modifications is crazy.
