The point is that the anti-tivoization provision does not appear to be relevant to IOS devices. The anti-tivoization provision is to stop manufacturers of devices that ship with GPL code from using DRM to prevent use of modifications to that code. It does not seem to prohibit using DRM to lock down GPL code that does not ship with the device. |

You should read the FSF's position on the App Store. They have stated that it is sufficient to rely on the "no additional restrictions" provisions in deciding that both GPLv2 and GPLv3 software cannot be distributed there. However, sufficiency is not equivalent to necessity and the FSF also mentions that GPLv3 provides additional conflicts specifically related to the App Store DRM.
