If you use the method advertised on this site then you have
nothing to worry about. Our unlocking service is authorized by Apple and
actually uses iTunes to complete the unlocking process. On the other hand, there are methods that you might choose
to unlock your iPhone which will
void your manufacturer’s warranty. Until recently there were few methods
available for unlocking iPhones. The most popular ones were achieved by
installing third party software or “jailbreaking” the device in order to
circumvent the network lock. The other option was to use a “Turbo SIM” adapter
which tricked the phone into thinking that it was connected to its native
network. While both of these methods achieved the desired effect, they came with
a few complications.
In the case of a jailbroken iPhone your warranty is
immediately voided as soon as you perform the jailbreak operation. Apple
licenses the software which can be used on its phones and by doing so protects
the copyrights of both itself and parties who develop applications for the
iPhone. Since jailbreaking theoretically allows one to obtain software without
the owner’s consent or software which has not been tested and authorized by
Apple, it is not allowed by the Apple Corporation. In addition to the ability
to download applications without paying for them it is also possible to affect
the performance of your iPhone by installing applications that do not function
properly or conflict with other operations.
In the case of Turbo SIM adapters, there are often
requirements such as following complicated steps to program the phone every
time that it is powered off. The Turbo SIM card adapters work by fooling the
phone into thinking that it has made contact with its native carrier during its
wake up cycle. Once the phone is turned off ne must begin by repeating this
programming again at power up. This can be time consuming and will also be
required if the battery goes completely dead and in some cases it will be
required for no apparent reason.
Another drawback to both of these latter methods is that
upgrading your software will often result in the jailbreak being removed or the
SIM card adapter no longer effective. By using the factory unlock method offered
here you will never have to worry about software conflicts, problems caused by
upgrading and last but not least this will not affect your warranty in any way.
Not only that but it also adds value to your device in case you ever decide to
sell it.
