Or not. When the original iPhones had recalls for the cell firmware, I
returned mine that was already jailbroken.

It amuses me greatly that they void warranties for a change to the
software. I can understand if someone bricks their phone, but apart
from that, it's ridiculous.

Like any device with a battery, you should have some inclination of
what you are doing. I never had any problems, my iPhones were always
jailbroken because I actually needed them to get work done (i.e. ssh
into work servers).

I'm going to ignore the last partial sentence since you're obviously
posturing for a fight :).
