The WWW class in Unity iPhone doesn't currently support the file:// protocol. This means that assets stored in the applications Documents directory, for example content downloaded through in-app purchase, can't be loaded.

Textures can be loaded from a byte array, so they appear to be the only exception.

Error received:
Code:
You are trying to load data from a www stream which had the following error when downloading.
Protocol file not supported or disabled in libcurl
(Filename: /Users/build/builds/unity-iphone/iphone/Projects/../Runtime/Export/WWW.cpp Line: 745)

should this really be the case (not just an iPhone Basic restrictions) I agree.
Loading Asset Bundles from flash is a must have

Not an iPhone Basic restriction. I'm an iPhone Advanced licensee.
