People who hacked their iPhones are still paying Apple customers. Sure, they violated the terms of their agreement and thus should not be entitled to warranty and tech support, but there's a whole world of difference between that and having Apple break their own hardware.

A more apt analogy would be what Microsoft does to modded Xboxes...they don't intentionally brick the hardware, they just make it so that hacked units can't access Xbox Live.

Do you honestly not see that in both cases the user is using void software?

If you steal a copy of windows your still paying for the computer hardware.

But I suppose you want me to bow down to your intelligence anyways...
