dhimes was talking about a situation wherein there are two related, yet separate, contracts at play. You are contractually obligated to both Apple and AT&T, so even if you use this loophole to get out of your contract with Apple when they change the contract, your obligation to AT&T continues. IANAL, but my assumption would be that a change in the Apple contract in no way legally changes your AT&T contract, so you are still liable to either honour your obligation to AT&T or pay their (typically exorbitant) cancellation fee.

Indeed. It would be nice if the two contracts were bound: then at least Apple would have to vet their changes with AT&T, which would presumably react against changes that pissed off the users but whose functions acted in only Apple's best interest. And note, I don't mean to pick on Apple. I just chose them as a concrete example. It could easily be the other way around or two different companies.
