iPhone Firmware Update Woes

By budda on Saturday, September 29th, 2007

If you're a Uk iPhone user thanks to the unlock methods that were made available earlier this month, then you might be a little worried about Apples new iPhone update.

Apple are pushing out the Firmware 1.1.1 update this weekend. The update brings the iTunes WiFi store to the phone, just like the iPod Touch.

Depending on how your iPhone was originally unlocked will give you different results. "Jail broken" handsets are going to turn in to expensive AT&T paper weights as the 1.1.1 update security has been tightened up.

Users of the open source SIM unlock software are getting an "Incorrect SIM" error message.

So if you're running an iPhone in the UK - don't do the update, do you really want iTunes store on your phone that much? Well there are other update features, Engadget has a nice round up of the features and status of the 1.1.1 progress on unlocked phones.
