After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Now things just a bit more interesting.....

I can see some good regulations and channel checks coming about with this. Carriers could offer unlocks for a price and all the unlock companies online being forced to close. This could get real interesting real quick.
how are they going to shut them down?
go door to door and ask people if they provide "illegal" unlocking services?
and on whose authority does it become illegal!
the united states government? interpol? google or apple security?
there will be no task forces, no shutdowns, no arrests... this "law" i about as useful as the law that makes it illegal to tie your horse to a fencepost within 15 paces of an open bank
Seeing things like that makes me glad I live on the other side of the globe...
The more I read about it, the more I'm convinces that it is an example of another knee-jerk law to prevent companies that provide unlock codes from making money & probably an attempt to keep T-Mobile from gaining too many customers.
