Unlock an iPhone is not a technical issue any more. In Shanghai, there is a M8 Labs where you can pay RMB50 ($8) to open up your iPhone for you. This M8 is on the 3rd floor of Mei-Luo-Chen in XuJiaHui area, the CBD heart of Shanghai.
In Shenzhen, a company is working on the a new equipment to monitor a iPhone communications based on AT&T GSM networks.
In one university of nanjing, 3 Ph.Ds are reversing engineering the iPhone hardware and software architecture under the Ph.D topic of "Architecture of Future Mobile Internet Terminal Systems" with funding of RMB500,000 ($70K).
In one of my workshops this October in hangzhou, one student will present a paper "iPhone system architecture and its future evolution development".
We will see more publications on iPhone from China, not from US.
