YOUNG PEOPLE IN ACTION
What He Did on His Summer Vacation
When iPhones hit the market in 2007, consumers were bedazzled. There was just one problem: the phone would work only on the AT&T wireless network, which, to this day, canât make its service work properly with the data-hungry iPhone. Along comes seventeen-year-old George Hotz of Glen Rock, New Jersey. In the summer of 2007, he spent more than 500 hours developing a way to âunlockâ the phone so that it would work on almost any wireless phone network. Aided by fellow hackers online, including two from Russia, Hotz solved the problem and posted his solution for all to see. He also put the very first unlocked iPhone on eBay, where it sold for more than $12,000âmore than twenty-five times the retail value.21
