According to an online group that's involved in searching for access controls to the Apple iPhone, it's possible to unlock the device without the help of SIM cards or software solutions.
While previous versions of unlocking solutions have required a convoluted procedure of using special SIM cards and software to unlock the iPhone, the new method that was made public by this group involves a secretive method that has yet to be announced.
The new method allegedly involves soldering circuit board connections within the iPhone itself, but little else is known about the procedure.
The online group that discovered this method has already stated that the procedure is risky and could render the iPhone completely useless if not followed properly. But if successful, the procedure allows any SIM card from a GSM-based carrier to send and receive calls. Interestingly, the hack also allows iPhone users to continue using the software as if nothing was touched.
Further details about the hack are being withheld until one week from Tuesday when the group claims it will publish detailed instructions on how to repeat the procedure.

My friend and I were recently talking about how modern society has evolved to become so integrated with technology. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory drops, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.
