テクノロジ系の情報を扱うGizmodoは7月10日、iPhone 3Gの脱獄に加え、iPhone Dev TeamはiPhone 3Gを通信事業者に関係なく利用可能にするアンロックにも成功していると報じた。現時点では、iPhoneを使いたいのならば英国ではO2と、米国ではAT&Tと契約しなければならない。
しかし、iPhone Dev Teamの元メンバーであり「Geohot」の名で知られるGeorge Hotz氏はブログで、iPhone Dev TeamはiPhone 3Gのアンロックにはまだ成功していないと主張している。
Hotz氏によると、iPhone 3GはこれまでのiPhoneとは異なるブートローダーを採用しており、iPhone 3Gのブートローダーは現時点ではまだ攻略されていないという。
米国時間7月11日、Appleは、最新型のiPhoneを発売した。初代iPhoneのクラックに成功していた開発者チームiPhone Dev Teamは、その発売から数時間のうちにiPhone 3GのOSである「iPhone 2.0」をハックしたと主張した。
iPhone Dev Teamはさらに「脱獄」を行う、つまり非公式なサードパーティー製アプリをiPhone 3Gで実行可能にするツール「PwnageTool 2.0」を開発したとも宣言した。iPhone Dev Teamはブログで、PwnageTool 2.0が作動している証明だとする動画へのリンクを掲載している。

For Apple's iPhone to truly be a world-class smart phone, it needs to be everywhere in the world. But iPhone isn't officially distributed where it needs to be most: China, the world's largest cell phone market. Recent noise about possible future iPhone deals with U.S. carriers shouldn't drown out the silence about China.
Potentially bad news now if you happen to be an avid tech consumer in the United States holding back on an iPhone purchase while waiting for AT&T's current exclusivity deal and its lock-in policy to come to an end.
When Apple Inc. launched an updated iPhone at its annual gathering of software developers last June, its biggest competitor was the iPhone that Apple had introduced the year before.
