iPhone 1.1.3 Update Confirmed, Breaks Apps and Unlocks

An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo has gathered conclusive evidence which confirms that the iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 update is 100% real. It installs only from iTunes using the obligatory Apple private encryption key, which nobody has. The list of new features, like GPS-like triangulation positioning in Google Maps, has been confirmed too. Apparently it will be coming out next week, but there's bad news as expected: it breaks the unlocks, patches the previous vulnerabilities used by hackers and takes away all your third-party applications."

Why use a iPhone anyway ?

[Hektor_Troy]

Why are people still dumm enough to buy and use an iPhone ?

The phone might have a fancy GUI, but is pretty boring regarding features, no radio, no java, and more.

It is pretty pricy, you are locked together with the phonecompany apple has chosen, they even demand money for your usage.

And what is even worse, Apple is just about the worst company in the IT business when it comes to giving the users freedom to use their products for wathever they want.

Yes there might come a SDK to make software, but they should have allowed Java from day one ! and not some self invented SDK system.

But people are so blinded by the very good Apple advertising and hyping of the products, so they don't notice how crippled the products really are.
The iPhone, the iPods are very crippled when it comes to features, and you are forced to use iTunes or some not very good 3rd party products.

No thanks i prefer my freedom.
