A New Jersey teenager has unlocked the iPhone, opening the way to Apple’s iconic mobile telephone being used by non-US networks.

The Associated Press news agency confirmed George Hotz, 17, had unlocked the iPhone and used it on T-Mobile, a rival to its sole US operator, AT&T.
The hacker says the unlocking takes about two hours and involves some soldering and skill with software.
AT&T and Apple have not yet commented on the news.
Analysts believe Apple may still have time to modify the iPhone production line to make new phones invulnerable to the hacks before the iPhone’s expected European launch later this year.
