Apple not opposed to iPhone hacks

iPhone Dock

If you happen to own an iPhone (and face it, not a lot of us do), you’ll have no doubt heard or even tried some of the 3rd-party native apps. It’s always been a gray area as to how Apple views these hacks (not only on the iPhone, but also on the Apple TV). Thank goodness Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod marketing recently rang Gearlog to confirm his firm’s stance on iPhone hacking.

Apparently, Apple does not mind at all. Or so it seems. They’re not going to stop people from developing these apps, but future “software updates will most likely break” unofficial software. Of course, the company is not going to support these apps, so you’re on your own should you require assistance.

Another reason to go ahead and purchase that iPhone you’ve always wanted, or at least wait till Apple officially rolls them out in your area.
