OK, the only possible broken law in this case would be violations of Apple's iPhone software license which includes all embedded software like firmware etc.
Unfortunately for Apple (and other mobile phone providers), USCO has added few exemptions to DMCA. One of the recently added was modifying cell phone firmware that ties a phone to a specific wireless network.
From the horses mouth:
"The underlying activity sought to be performed by the owner of the handset is to allow the handset to do what it was manufactured to do—lawfully connect to any carrier. This is a noninfringing activity by the user. The purpose of the software lock appears to be limited to restricting the owner’s use of the mobile handset to support a business model, rather than to protect access to a copyrighted work itself."
