Hacking a device, iPhone or anything else, whether it be a hardware or a software hack, is likely to end up voiding your warranty. That should come as no surprise to anyone -- well, it probably does, and will, to some of those who will try to get their hacked iPhones serviced.

Just another desperate attempt by apple to cover it's own ass...
why do they bother?

Well duh!? If you choose to pay for service then I don't see what the big deal is.

Hardware hacks I can understand, but software? Where is this going? Am I going to have to ask the manufacturer's permission to install an OS someday?
