Sometimes the way a blogger writes is actually more interesting than what is being said; if only because it creates an image in my mind's eye that is amusing; but had I owned an iPhone and had unlocked it, I'd be enraged, not amused by what Apple has done.

In ReveNews, Sam Harrelson writes a post titled: iPhone Debacle Provides Learning Moment for Marketers and Advertisers:

"…However, the actions of Apple in this week's firmware release, which wipe out 3rd party apps that a user might have installed on their iPhone at best and "bricks" (renders useless) at worst is reprehensible. Forget $200 price drops, this move by Apple is rotten to the core."

 

I'm not even sure if that's a rotting Apple, above, but it might as well be one - for all that Apple did by messing up unlocked iPhones with it's newest patches.

It's easy to build good will, but it's just as easy to destroy it.  If anyone has a question on weather to buy an iPhone now or wait a while… I think what Apple did this week answers the question.  Wait.
