Recent Apple News. Apple has allegedly built a jailbreak checker into iOS version 4 and above to see if someone's iPhone has been jailbroken with a hack known as greenpois0n, according to the Web site Social Apples. If the hack is found, then Apple reportedly blocks access to content in the latest version of the iBooks e-reader app.
The unlucky iBooks user who reported the experience on Social Apples ran into the following error when trying to access an e-book on a jailbroken device: "There is a problem with the configuration of your iPhone. Please restore with iTunes and reinstall iBooks." Apple did not respond to a request for comment on the matter.
Jailbreaking has always been a contentious issue between device makers such as Apple and their customers. A ruling from the U.S. Copyright Office last summer found that the mere process of jailbreaking does not violate federal copyright law, as Apple had asserted. But jailbreaking does violate the license agreement between Apple and its customers, which most jailbreakers accept as the cost of freeing up their devices.
Apple is preventing them from accessing e-books that they legally purchased, argued some of the commenters, although the government ruling certainly doesn't stop Apple from cooking up ways to disable jailbroken features and unauthorized apps on its iDevices. What's your opinion?
