People don’t like being locked into anything, simple as that i don’t like networked locked anything. As soon as I can get it unlocked I will.

Yeah that’s true. South Asian countries have a great demand. I know dozens of friends in my circle who are crazy about getting an iPhone. It’s such a wonderful thing to have with one..

Apple’s iPhone is such a thing one would love to waste extra money and invaluable amount of time to get it unlocked…

Many people in South Asian countries like Pakistan and India have great demand for iPhone… apple needs to focus.

What’s Apple going to do about it? Continue to “break” the unlock process with each new software update. Not much of a deterrent if you just never update your software.

And I doubt many of the unlocked phones are being used in the US. It’s one thing to get an unlocked iPhone when you otherwise can’t have one at all in your country, but in the US my guess is that most T-Mobile customers would just switch to AT&T rather than bother with an unlocked phone.

Correction: Towards the end it should be GSM providers, not GMS.
