Re: It is now legal to jailbreak your iPhone or other mobile device
The rumors change daily.
Last I heard Apple was only looking at T-Mobile since with Verizon or Sprint they would have to essentially rebuild the hardware. But anything can happen if the money is right.
I thought unlocking was just to free the phone from the carrier. My brother in law bought an iPhone and unlocked it so he could use it on T-Mobile. I helped him jailbreak it after. From what I remember.

Apple applies for patent to kill jailbroken devices
Apple is apparently ramping up its battle to prevent iPhone and iPod owners from jailbreaking their devices.
The company has applied for a patent, titled "Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device," that covers a series of security measures to automatically protect devices from thieves and other "unauthorized users." Unauthorized users apparently applies to those who engage in jailbreaking, which allows devices to run apps not approved by the company producing the operating system--such as Apple, the main target of such bypasses.
