Apple: iPhone warranty voids if found installed with 3rd party apps
It’s kinda cool that you could unlock your iPhone to bypass the AT&T. Furthermore, the iPhone unlocking software is now available everywhere such as the iUnlock and the GUI version, AnySIM etc. But, think twice before you install any 3rd party software onto your iPhone for the sack of unlocking it. As Apple has announced that the warranty of your iPhone is considered void if your iPhone is found with 3rd party apps installed on it. So, you won’t be covered if your iPhone breaks within the warranty period if 3rd party software is found on it.
