This is not confirmed. N41, hackint0sh iPhone moderator, posted a news saying they have completed the iPhone 1.1.3 hardware unlock. Without any photos and videos, N41 said with the help of Geohot (the first one who unlock iPhone in the world), hardware unlock is possible. The procedure is like this:

- Unlock the iPhone with firmware 1.1.3 (baseband 4.03.13)
- Downgrade the phone to 1.1.2 then jailbreak it for normally using.
- Phone will work at: firmware 1.1.2 and baseband 4.03.13.

This unlock method requires to physically open the iPhone. You cannot use 1.1.3 in the end since no jailbreak method is successful on 1.1.3. This is still a good sign because once 1.1.3 jailbreak method is found, hardware unlock out of the box iPhone (bootloader 4.6, and also 3.9) is possible and use the newest firmware 1.1.3.

Note nothing is confirmed and hardware unlock is not easy. I highly recommend all of you, DON’T UPDATE iPhone to 1.1.3 unless you are using official and authorized carriers.
