Unlock an old iPhone 4s bootloader

Hi SravanKrA,

Thanks for your reply! I forgot that I have a few iPods touch ;) as well😁.

What I’m trying to achieve is to ‘reuse’ the devices build in hardware like display, touch, sensors, WiFi and compile my own arm software packages and install to run the services that is need directly on the device instead of buying another dedicated single chip pc like Raspberry Pi for example.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi KiltedTim,

Thanks for your reply! I'm not 100% sure until I hear it from Apple, so I asked for the official channel to contact Apple.

Maybe it's a time for a change? I still not willing to accept I have a bunch of useless bricks that I should get rid of.

Apple's value is to recycle and reuse materials as much as possible, it's all about being sustainable, this is another way...

My specific use case is not important. If Apple decides to go for it and provide a way to reuse the old devices this may draw a lot more people with other better ideas ;)

Cheers,

Martin

Hence my initial query ;)

I did try to use official Apple support, but of course, this does not fall in any of the official FAQs. I'd like to put it in writing but the only option is to call, could not find a contact mail or web contact form, but I think I've seen in the community forums someone mention it before - a way to contact Apple directly.

Regards,

Martin

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,

Martin
