Unlocking the iPhone is getting popular in the undergrounds and AT&T is lossing millions dollars because of this activity. What with Jailbreak and Metasploit, people can now easily unlock their iPhones or tinker with their units.

But there are a lot of reasons why you should not unlock your iPhone. Aside from the risk of getting virus or other malicious codes from third party applications, you disqualify your phone from the official support page of Apple.

A lot of those how have unlocked their iPhones have complained of several malfunctions, including unresponsive buttons, sudden screen pause, changing colors of the screen, etc. And when you post questions about these problems at Apple’s Support Forum, you will not get any answer.

So if you are now thinking of unlocking your iPhone using Jailbreak of Metasploit, think again. My advice would be to leave the iPhone as it is and wait for the official unlocking of the iPhone by Apple.

Metasploit version 3.1 has recently been released and believe it or not it comes with a support for breaking into Apple’s iPhone devices. It’s as if Jailbreak is not enough, now Metasploit is making it easy for everyone to hack his iPhone.

     But what’s the point of breaking into our iPhone? That questions still remains unanswered for me as more and more hackers now turn their eyes on the iPhone to exploit.

     As i’ve said over and over again, I’d rather keep my iPhone as it is. Installing third party applications could be exiting (for those who love to tinker on their gadgets) but we don’t know what other programs are hidden in the applications.

     If it ain’t broken, don’t break into it.

     It was only a matter of time for those iphone hackers to find their way into the iPhone’s 1.1.3 firmware. For those who want to take the risk and install the latest jailbreak, please don’t forget to back up all your files because this upgrade is doubly risky.

     The latest jailbreak comes as an upgrade. This means you need to have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone already, before you can begin.

     As i’ve been saying over and over again, let’s leave the iPhone as it is.  Upgrading with third-party software is very risky and for sure Apple will not own responsibility should anything happen to your phone while you install the latest jailbreak.
