Apple is at fault because they wrote the software. The software harmed Apple's customers. Why they wrote it is irrelevant.

The Iphone is not subsidized (yet). Everyone who bought one through ATT paid the list price.
Furthermore, the contract that Apple had with ATT is irrelevant to the people who bought an Iphone from an Apple store. Apple has no legal right to tell me I cannot run other software on my Iphone. They can refuse to support it, certainly. They have no obligation to test the upgrade to make sure that it doesn't break the third party software. Okay, fine.
But I think they deliberately made the upgrade restore
only the unlocked Iphone to factory settings.
