Stupid title. Should've been "cracked iPhone displays". I read "cracked iPhone" synonymous with "jailbreaked iPhone".

Also, nicely written press release.

Where does iCracked get the displays/glass? What's to prevent Apple from drying up the supply?

The glass on the devices appears to be "generic", not really "apple glass". They manufacture them in China. This is a great article on them; http://www.inc.com/30under30/burt-helm/icracked-aj-forsythe-...

You could have made the same point without saying "Stupid title".
