One way to get iPhone Push Notifications from Twine
You can use Prowl. Look for them at:
http://www.prowlapp.com
You install the app on your iphone. Then use their API to send pushes and you get the notification on your iphone.
What I did was create a simple php web app that used prowl API. So when a twine rule was triggered, I called this web page, the web page called the API with my custom message and prowl pushes the message to my iphone as a notification. Give it a try.

I'm sure there are other ways, but this one seemed good for now. I am just trying to avoid text to my phone

Get the app from the app store.
Register for a userid and password.
Sign in at the prowl site and then go to the "API Keys" page and request an API Key.
This key then forms the email address to have the Twine send the email to (ex: [email protected].
But, why should we, the Twine buyers, have to get this creative to make THEIR device work? We don't need work-arounds, we just need their stuff to work.
Also interested to know the code to get this working for myself too.
