iPhone update 1.1.1

I made it out alive!

Today I updated my iPhone to version 1.1.1, which was being talked about a lot around it breaking all hacks that have been out so far. Well it did.

The update is very cleaver. After you download and then install the update the iPhone becomes an iBrick for a moment, claiming it needs to be activated. Cleaver, cleaver Apple. Previous updates did not require this, why so now? Makes perfect sense if I want to make sure that all the un-hacked SIM cards will re-activate while those who used a hack to use other SIM cards from other phone services would not register, now that the phone was wiped clean.

It was fun while it lasted. iFuntastic 3 was a great easy to use hacking tool. I was not impressed with all the hacked software out there. Some of it just wasn’t useful and most crude. Would I hack my phone again, sure.

Now for the new update to 1.1.1. It looks good. The iTunes Mobile store is ridiculous. That is going to be dangerous no doubt. I still don’t see major improvments to the UI or functionality that many have been clamoring for. Like cut and paste, texting multiple people at once.

Come on Apple lets get on that huh…
