As we all know, for some time now its been possible to unlock an Apple iPhone to use it on another network, in fact Ebay is currently flooded with people, often charging a permium for pre-unlocked iPhones, but in a recent statement, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that his company will be actively attempting to prevent people from unlocking iPhones by introducing fixes in new releases of the iPhone's firmware.
