You have the legal right to do anything to your iPhone that you please, except for DMCA circumvention. Apple, cleverly, designs it so you can't do very much without DMCA circumvention. But it is the government's fault for this loophole, not Apple's.


It is the governments fault that it exists, and apples fault for exploiting it to the extent they do.

DMCA is only a thing in the US.
