In the US it was recently made legal to jailbreak smartphones, whereas it was previously illegal as a “breach of copyright”.
It was ruled that the only real reason phones were locked to networks or blocked 3rd party software, was for the company’s on financial benefits, and didn’t have anything to do with copyright anyway.
Apple hates this, because it means they potentially lose a small amount of profit
Because while Apple will still be making money from the App store, they won’t be making as much money, so I guess all the voided warranties means phones they won’t have to service. Now if there was a clause where it couldn’t void the warranty, they would likely just stop honoring the warranty.
Looks like the silly mac commercials.
Jobs is dressed in his ‘hip’ unprofessional sleeves-up shirt.
Gates is dressed in a pair of black pants with a button up shirt.

What is this, I don’t even…?

Could delete the first two panels and the joke would have the same impact with much less annoyance factor.

yeah, what’s apple’s problem? they are just doing apple’s job by making the iPhone suck less, without any pay, i might add!

Bastards!
all you geeks really have un-jailbroken iphone/touch??? weird…
Making Jailbreaking legal will, on the contrary, equals MORE iphone units sold for Apple.
Think about it.
Wah, if you don’t want to void the warranty just go for Android.
Is that like a television show in the US or something? what is it? I wanna see them talking together if it is on YouTube or whatever
actually u can easily restore ur iphone and… voila… no more voiding the waranty
Lol, thats exactly what I was going to say. I’ve done it plenty of times when dust gets behind my iphone screen and I have them replace it.
Well the thing is… Apple has no way of knowing whether an iPhone or iPod was jailbroken. Just reset it before handing it to them xD
