Legal issues regarding jailbreaking iPhones?
I'm curious about the legal issues surrounding jailbreaking of iPhones. For example, is it illegal to jailbreak an AT&T iPhone to use another service provider? Or install other softwares on the iPhone?
Furthermore what happens if the jailbroken iPhone breaks? Does it violate Apple warrenty?
It can be easy to get "unlocking" and "jailbreaking" confused, but the two terms mean totally different things. Unlocking refers to freeing your phone to work on any carrier instead of just the one you bought it on. Jailbreaking is the process of circumventing Apple's security measures in iOS to install tweaks, hacks, and mods that aren't allowed in the App Store.
A couple of years ago it was decided that jailbreaking is NOT illegal. So no worries there. You can jailbreak any Apple device you wish, they just really don't like it. As for warranty, you can always just restore your phone and wipe it of any hint of a jailbreak and they'll never know, warranty intact
- Would i have Legal issues if i named my iPhone app the same as a current product non-gaming related? Apparently, the name of my iPhone game is the same as a book written by a non-famous author, the book is about super hero's. My game is not about super hero's. Also, when i search google images, the name of my game shows up as the vehicle, Jaguar's icon. Would i have a legal issue to name my game the same as a book and a google image that shows up as Jaguar's icon?
- Which is more accurate regarding the details of an iphone, iphoneimei.info or imei.info? When I look up the IMEI of my broken iphone 5s on iphoneimei.info it says it's 16gb and when I look it up on imei.info it says it's 32gb… Which site is more accurate? The iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not power on unless connected and it won't tell me the storage capacity in itunes.
- Regarding Whatsapp on iPhones? I have a question. When you add a friend's phone number to your contacts and you both have whatsapp, does your friend get a notification from Whatsapp saying that you joined or are on Whatsapp? Let me know.
- Need Iphone help regarding call logs and a spy program? I need help with Iphone. I'm looking to find a way to somehow see deleted calls from a call log. I'm trying to see if my husband is lying to me about contacting a woman. I also am interested in a phone spy program where I can remote in and check call logs and VM, but I understand the Iphone will have to be jailbroken first, and since this is his companies cell phone, I'm not thinking this would work. Is there any Iphone Apps out there that will track calls and VM's?
