Re: Insecure by design

Can you still get root on the majority of iPhones out there simply by sending a malicious SMS like the other market leader mobile OS? This case shows its security up to now if anything is pretty solid.

>because Apple want to be able to change the software in your device

As opposed to certain other companies that are perfectly content to leave the software on your device as they sold it to you and if you want security updates you need to buy the latest model. And Apple can't install updates to your device without your permission unlike Microsoft these days.
