Interesting. I was not aware of that. I'm sure it is arguable though. If it can be demonstrated that such modification is not to the device itself. Like, is it being modified when an app is installed? Yes it is! Is Jailbraking similar? No idea but you see my point.
BTW, Apple does break Jailbreaking. That is why a new method often needs to be developed.
That said, I would never do that to an iPhone. I need a phone that works, <ahem>, not AT&T or bumper jokes please :-)

Let us all remember that the iPhone is a communications device, and thus, as such, subject to type acceptance pursuant under FCC rules (the FCC also being a legislative creation at the pleasure of Congress).
My understanding is that it is illegal (relative to mobile phone and other FCC controlled communication services) to modify a type accepted device for use (even within the same communications service) without having it submitted for type acceptance again by the FCC (granted, as an Amateur Radio Operator there are certain devices I can modify and not require them to be type accepted again prior to usage, but those are all devices within the Amateur Service).
