I saw this, and it's just brilliant.

Forget that it's fashioned after an iPhone. Look past that. It's a pretty strong statement and beautifully executed.

Jailbreak the iPhone. That's the statement.

That's one interesting take on it.

If you look around in public, people seem to be slaves to (imprisoned by) their phones. I took it more along those lines.

I thought of an interpretation somewhat like Renegade's initially, but then when I took a closer look, I noticed the hole in the inside of the prison and the hole outside of the prison (somehow at least the outside hole feels like it's been drawn to be noticed...).  These interpretations don't seem completely at odds with each other to me :)
