Apple update bricks iPhones

The BBC is reporting that a planned software update issued by Apple, with a warning earlier this week, has indeed caused hacked iPhones to go silent. On Monday Apple said the software would "likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed". The BBC says that there are also reports of unmodified iPhones being negatively affected by the update. I'm a little intrigued by how much this has been discussed and yet owners of the modified devices are installing the updates? Just saying, if it were my $600 phone I don't think I'd take the risk...
