Alright, so it’s not entirely impossible to unlock the iPhone, but we’d wager that the majority of folks looking to do so would enjoy keeping the whole “phone” functionality in tact. Enter UniquePhones, a Belfast-based firm that is reportedly on the verge of developing an application that will “allow customers to unlock their Apple iPhones so they can use SIM cards from carriers other than AT&T to activate the mobiles.” The firm’s founder has stated that
a team of engineers are frantically working to “break the encryption process that protects the token sent through the iTunes activation process to an iPhone’s firmware.” Users can expect to pay around $49.99 for the software essential to unlock the handset (if it indeed surfaces), but a number of analysts have unsurprisingly suggested that the loop would again be closed by Apple the very next date dubious users synced with iTunes.
