Apple Store blacklists hacked iPhone
It appears that at least one Apple Store employee is toeing the company line when it comes to customers with hacked iPhones.
According to one of Jason O'Grady's (ZDNet writer) colleagues, he tried to return an iPhone exhibiting the "green tint camera" problem, only to be told that because it had been modified to allow some third-party applications, and was running the AT&T network, the warranty was voided and the phone blacklisted against future service or return.
Eventually, after several diplomatic conversations with the store manager, and agreeing to pay the 10% restocking fee, his iPhone was replaced.
The moral of the story is to restore your iPhone and replace the AT&T SIM card before taking it in for repair or return. That is, of course, if you don't have a software problem which prevents doing a system restore.
