Apple plans to release iPhone software updates later this week, and because of that they commented on the iPhone unlocking & hacking for the first time today:

“Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones,” Apple said in a statement. “Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.”
