Apple will actively work against any SIM unlocks of the iPhone, says Apple 
CEO Steve Jobs. Jobs made the comments during a Q&A session that took 
place after yesterday's press event in London <A href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/09/18/apple-announces-iphone-availability-in-united-kingdom">announcing</A> 
availability details of the iPhone in the UK. When asked by a journalist whether 
unlocking was a concern for the company, Jobs said, "It's a constant 
cat and mouse game," <A href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9037398&intsrc=hm_list">according</A> 
to <EM>ComputerWorld</EM>'s account of the discussion. "We try to stay ahead. 
People will try to break in, and it's our job to stop them breaking in."

But when it comes to SIM unlocking the iPhone, the game changes drastically.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070919-apples-fight-against-iphone-unlocks-may-result-in-expensive-bricks.html">Although Apple has less to lose by customers unlocking the device than AT&T, 
the company is bound by its contract to AT&T to do what it can to ensure that customers 
use the designated carrier.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/853E7C30-27BE-4754-84E6-4C89311ECF48/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
