I actually have an iPhone myself and it was my primary test device when writing the backend. As most digital cameras and PTP devices (unlike MTP devices), it only allows reading, not writing. However, libgphoto2 (or rather, probably the phone), reports it supports writing. Other PTP devices (such as my Canon EOS 5D) however correctly reports they don't support writing. In that case the mount is read only and you'll get the warning much earlier (e.g. from Nautilus, not the vfs layer). (I doubt the fact the device may be jailbroken makes a difference since this is about the capabilities of the PTP firmware in the device.)
(and, also, I might add, I have some MTP devices that indeeds allow writing. So that bit should work too.)
