After the announcement, Jobs fielded questions from reporters. Some of them concerned the iPhone being unlocked, Developers making third-party applications without Apple's approval, 3G iPhones and the possibility of Apple dropping the price 2 months after introduction at the UK.
iPhone being unlocked? Jobs said:
"This is constant cat-and-mouse game," he said of the ongoing attempts to untether the handset from its intended carriers. "[P]eople are going to try and break in and it's our job to try and stop them."
iPhone third party apps? Jobs said he is intrigued by a lot of the apps that are coming out and Apple is looking at them closely, especially those that don't require internet access.
3G iPhone? Job says they're waiting for a 3G chipset that won't kill battery life. (This is the same song and dance we've heard before).
