Apparently someone with affiliations to NBC mistaken the definitions of “jailbreaking” with “unlocking” the iPhone.
Jailbreaking is the hacker term for cracking software restrictions so the iPhone will work on other wireless carriers and allow any apps to be installed, not just those approved by Apple.
Jailbreaking does not automatically unlock the phone. In addition to that the article does not even use word “hacker” in correct context.
Haven’t I read this a while back?
Someone at NBC: “Hey, iPhone is now on Verizon.”
The other someone at NBC: “Let’s write something about iPhone with a shocking headline.”
Does NBC do some research before the “break” the news?
By the way NBC, Library of Congress called…….
It must be slow news day for you.
