Official word from the iPhone modding forums is - safe to update if you have software unlocked, but it will relock your phone. Hardware unlocks haven't been tested yet. Also there isn't a way to reinstall your 3rd party apps yet if you have any, so if you want to keep them don't update.

Evey Hammond: I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking on the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

Umm... Can't you just press cancel then cont to use your unlocked iphone ftw?

Criss

Yes, I was merely offering up the advice that you can update to the new features but you lose your unlock / 3rd party apps.

Which is a lot better than having a bricked phone like the threads from yesterday were guessing at.

Hehe, Apple is going to kill unlocked iPhones with this update.

Criss

Did you not read my comments at the bottom? The update doesn't brick unlocks, just reverts them to locked status. It's only a matter of time before the community has a new piece of software to unlock it. They've already begun disassembling the latest firmware.

Apple knows damn well if it renders hacked phones inoperable or not..
