The internet is abuzz with the news that Apple intends to break iPhones containing third party applications. Unlocked phones are also likely to be victims of the next software update. While community reaction is generally negative, one blogger suggests sending an even stronger message to Apple by boycotting Apple on October 1. If you're running the Installer application, you may want to hold off on any iPhone firmware updates.

No not really. It is not like they are using GPL 2 code in their software. So GPL 3 has no effect. If you are saying that All software should go GPL 3 no matter what (restricting freedom) you better not make the argument that the person can choose how he has the right to choose his license. Because Apple didn't choose using GPL or GPL 3 Code for the reason they wanted to lock down the phone.

Here we are after all the arguments about GPL3 about users wanting freedom over their software on their hardware.
...and here we are with apple being boycotted. Linus spits at you.
