Catch 22. but i believe it was a fair warning.

They could simply say it was a coincidence and that they cannot guarantee that hacked phones will be compatible with their updates. But instead, they had to issue a statement warning people about unlocked phones, and now it becomes obvious that they are intentionally attempting to cause problems for those people with unlocked iPhones.
So what's your point? There are other GSM phones that can be used cross network after unlock.
