Australians desperate to get their hands on an Apple iPhone and run it on an Australian network be warned. You have just been nobbled.
Apple today issued a software update to plug at least 10 security holes in the iPhone, including at least seven fixes for Safari, the device’s built-in Web browser. The new updates will prevent Australians from buying an iPhone in the USA and then using hacking software to run it on an Australian phone network.
The updates are available only through iTunes, recent versions of which are programmed to check Apple’s update server every week or so and download any updates. Alternatively, iPhone users can download the updates manually via the “Check for Update” button within iTunes and then docking the device to the computer.
A word of caution to anyone who has installed special third-party software to “unlock” their iPhone so that it can be used with multiple wireless carriers. This update will likely turn your iPhone into an expensive paperweight, assuming this patch bundle is the firmware update Apple warned was coming earlier this week.
