The BBC website is reporting that Apple iphones are being disabled if they've been tampered with or repaired by a third party i.e. not Apple. Apparently this is as a result of the latest upgrade.
Despite Apple's claim of 'innocence' the cynical side of me thinks that this is a sneaky attempt to force their customers to get repairs done by Apple and Apple alone.
I don't have an iphone and reports of this ilk do not exactly inspire me to get one.

Could be another Google (android) conspiracy ;-)

Aye, my cynical mind could easily believe that too.
Whenever big money is involved, scruples go out the window.
