Prankster Jailbreaks Apple Store Display iPhone

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-pretty-funny dept.

Stoobalou writes "A prankster has snuck into his local Apple temple of consumerism and footled with one of the display models." Is it wrong of me to think that it would be awesome if everybody did this to every phone? I mean, it's legal now!

    yes, because information wants to be free or something

    Perhaps, but they have voided the warranty. Presumably the store staff are no longer allowed to work with that phone.

    I picture an Island of Lost Toys somewhere on the Apple campus, filled with forlorn iPhones with voided warranties that no Apple Genius (tm) will touch. Denied the love and approving gaze of their turtlenecked creator, they are cast out and set to wander east of Eden, with Apple store employees with flaming swords turning every way to keep them from the Apple Store of Life.
