iBrick is the nickname given to Apple's iPhone after an update or hack reduces functionality. The name is also applied to phones that are unable to activate through normal methods. A partial fix for a bricked iPhone has been discovered that restores some functionality.

Fixing an iBrick
Apple does not offer support for iBricked phones that contain unauthorized software. They will, however, support clean iBricks that resulted from a failed software upgrade. There have been reports of Apple store employees finding a secret fix for the issue. TUAW: Apple Geniuses are reportedly unbricking iPhones Users have reported employees occasionally taking an iBrick to the back of the store and returning with a working unit. -

Looks like i'm officially an owner of an iBrick. Lasted about 20 months. RIP.

Verizon gave me a free phone upgrade. Ding-dong the ibrick is dead! Thinking of blowing it up. May need it as a wifi device though.

And by dead I mean it's no longer an iPhone but an iBrick. Won't take a charge, won't turn on. #blahblahblahiPhonebatteriessuckassblahblah
