Apple Said to be Disabling Apple IDs of Jailbroken iPhones

“This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”, the ominous error message reads. What does it mean? Well, it’s no secret that Apple hates it when people jailbreak their iPhones (of course if Apple would give them what they want, they wouldn’t feel compelled to have jailbroken iPhones – jailbreaking iPhones happens when iPhone owners can’t get at the things that they want, that they know the phone can do, but which Apple has crippled). Now people with jailbroken iPhones are starting to receive the “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” error message, and have confirmed that their Apple ID (which, among other things, gives you access to the iPhone app store) has been disabled. So, what it means is that Apple has started denying access to iPhones which have been jailbroken.
