Congratulations, you own a brand new iPhone 4! What’s that? You unlocked your sparkling new iPhone 4? I commend you on your bravery, but I have to warn you about your possible stupidity. The iPhone is an amazing smart phone that is leaps and beyond any predecessor and with that you must know; when you unlock or “jail break” your iPhone 4, your warranty is now void. How void is your warranty? Let’s say you got robbed in a traumatic and frightening mugging, if the criminal were to steal your iPhone, you are NOT covered for a new one, considering it is unlocked. We all make mistakes; this article serves to protect you from those mistakes that are only human.
First, let’s discuss a little about technology and a good ol’ fashioned word called responsibility. You are now fully responsible for your iPhone, meaning you have to take ownership for any mistakes you make; your fault or not, minor or large, it’s all on you. This is one of the main cons to unlocking an iPhone, that warranty protects your investment and expensive product. Without this legal “shield”, you are ultimately alone in the jungle – to fend for yourself and protect your technological baby.
The best way to avoid human error is to avoid another human’s error. While the constant pleas from your friends to loan over your iPhone 4 may cause you to cave due to their incessant whining; this is not a smart move! Can you trust your friends with a car, a computer, money? If not, then your decision is even clearer, tell them to get their own! Nothing will kill off your iPhone 4 pleasures quicker than a friend dropping it into the sink, dropping it out of the car, or falling on it while it’s in their pocket. Be proactive, protect your product!
Absolutely no water, at all! Water is to an iPhone like milk is to that lactose intolerant kid that always stayed inside at school; they just do not get along, at all. Want to go to that new water park? Well, fork, it’s time to meet road! Yes, you do need to pick between a water park and an iPhone. Last I checked, a water park wasn’t over $500.
Don’t get angry when handling your phone! Want to throw something? Want to break something? Want to just punch something right in the apps? Stay away from your iPhone! It has been nothing but good to you; it doesn’t deserve your physical abuse and misplaced violence.
The most important “Not to Do” with your iPhone 4 is to download a sketchy program or visit a shady site. Most viruses on the iPhone are statistically proven to be only on those that were unlocked. You do not have Apple’s protection from viruses. It is all about internet safety; use your head when browsing the internet. If a site seems too good to be true, if a program seems too great to be free; it more likely than not is. Don’t fall for tricks used by hackers and other internet crime committers.
Let’s pray that this article has led you on the path to a happy co existence with you and your iPhone. Ultimately it is your money and you can do whatever you want with it. You can even use it as a small dinner plate or stir mac & cheese while listening to music off it. But nobody wants to front this type of cash for nothing; they make “brick” phones for a reason.
