iPhone 1.1.3 Update Confirmed, Breaks Apps and Unlocks

Posted by Zonk on from the peak-into-the-itech-future dept.

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."

    ... the less likely I am to buy one of these turkeys. If Apple is so intent on creating strict boundaries around their products, they can leave me out. iLife is sounding more like iDeath the more I hear about it...

    Understanding the scope of the problem is the first step on the path to true panic.

    To solve this problem, you need a supported SDK. And that's coming. Officially. That means developers like me can write software for the iPhone Do you have proof that this SDK be freely available? Or will it cost $29,999.95 plus tax per entity per year?
