According to this report from Redmond Pie, China Unicom is amazingly offering customers a free jailbreak service for those who wish to purchase from them, knowing too well that customers may go on to unlock their device soon afterwards.

Furthermore, China Unicom are also offering free iPhone 4 cases to divert attention away from AntennaGate, and are also offering free installation of the 10 most popular apps from Cydia – an application which is only accessible on jailbroken handsets.

We wonder what Apple make of this. Jailbreaking is now legal in the US, and probably in China too – but it is not a good look for an official carrier to be supporting it – what do you think?

As reported from Apple Insider, the iPhone 4 is set to launch on September 16th in China, and China Unicom has confirmed that they will be offering free iPhone 4 cases to every customer.

According to AI, it is unsure whether customers will have to sign up to a program like Apple’s Case Program in the US in order to receive their case, or if customers will get their case along with their handset on purchase day.

Considering the problems that Apple faced with AntennaGate, this move by China Unicom should eliminate some of the fears for Chinese consumers who are worried about potential antenna issues.
