The $100 Million iBrick Industry

There were around one hundred million reasons why we’ve heard so many complaints from unlockers about  the 1.1.1 upgrade: they heard the sound of their profit from reselling $100 million in unlocked iPhones going down the drain. Finally, some perspective. Most of these complainers didn’t give a fig about consumer rights or even consumer satisfaction. I wouldn’t put all unlockers in this category, but you can bet that a large amount was, and remains, in the reselling business. Keep this is mind when you hear complaints about Apple’s SDK in the future, you’ll know the true motivation behind them: greed.
