I don't get what's so different about what Scott said vs what I said.
My point was that modifiying the operating system on the phone to circumvent the DRM (in addition to installing untested applications using unkown third-party APIs) could degrade system performance and cause undue undue stress on the hardware.
His point was that overclocking or undervolting could also cause undue stress on the hardware.
What makes one OK, but the other not OK? To me, it just seems like similar means to a similar end. They're both firmware modifications.
Anyway, this is a moot argument. Apple's stance has always been that jailbreaking CAN void the warranty... not WILL. It's always on a case-by-case basis. The opinion that someone who modifies a product's firmware should expect zero support is only my own.
