The bricking was due to people using an old version of the AnySIM unlock. I know...I sold a competitor that didn't brick when people upgraded their phones. Phones were unbricked later, and a new version of AnySIM came out that didn't brick things when upgrades were made.
Right. The problem was with how Apple handled it. I had heard more screaming customers during that one week than I had not only before, but after as well.
