Although Jailbreaking is now officially legal Apple is not ready to accept the fact and want to detect any attempt of "..hacking the electronic device, jailbreaking the electronic device, unlocking the electronic device, removing a SIM card from the electronic device.." as evident from the "United States Patent Application" by Apple Inc., the patent seems to be aimed at detecting illegal use of an electronic device and than notifying the owner of the electronic device about the unauthorized user by sending an alert through any suitable medium but the above line do raise serious concerns about Apple's intentions.
Apart from the detection of an jailbroken phone other privacy concerns can also not be ignored as the patent filing reveals Apple will be using screenshots, microphone, keylogs, communications packets served, and most shockingly users heartbeats to identify illegal use.

Illegal in Canada
While jailbreaking is legal now in the US, it will be illegal here in Canada, if Harper has his way.
So there may be a method to Apple's madness after all.
