Apple finally has come out with a solution to get rid of jailbreak of its devices. The Cupertino Company has applied for a patent called "Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device," which includes a number of security steps to protect the device from “unauthorized users” or any other hackers.

A blog, patentlyapple.com posted that the patent technology will include a series of security measures including "the device taking a photo of the thief (smile now) or recording the thief's voice," adding, "Apple's iOS security is getting so smart, that it'll even know what kind of vehicle that the thief is using your device in - be it a plane, train or automobile and notify the proper authorities."

The patent filed in February 2009 explains, "Systems and methods for identifying unauthorized users of an electronic device are provided in today's patent. In particular, systems and methods for detecting an unauthorized user, gathering information related to the electronic device, the unauthorized user, or both, and transmitting an alert notification to a responsible party for the electronic device are provided. The current user can have his photograph taken, the current user's voice can be recorded or an ECG of the current user's heartbeat can be recorded."

This means that if you jailbreak your iPhone then Apple will automatically detect it and will restore the device back to factory settings.

However, In July, U.S. Copyright Office ruled that it no longer considers jailbreaking a copyright violation. But Apple has long been discouraging its users to jailbreak their devices even though it is now considered legal.

"As we've said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones as this can violate the warranty and can cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably," Apple had said in a statement after the ruling.
