What's gonna happen when you enter a country with strict satellite phone restrictions with one of these new iPhones? Airport security in these places is already looking for any devices capable of satcoms and possession is a crime, not just usage.

But certainly it will get interesting when standard smartphones get capabilities that some countries have banned in standalone devices. At an organizational rather than a country level you already have a situation where everyone has a camera in their pocket. At a lot of companies, it used to be a big deal to bring a camera into a building involving security passes etc.
