>2) Never be exposed to Apps that havn't been vetted by a trustworthy party (in this case Apple)

And yet, even after being vetted malware still gets in

I see this a lot, and to be honest, this 'Apple products are free from malware' meme has been carried on as long as I can remember in one form or another since the early Mac days. The amount of people that used to say they used Macs because 'they didn't have viruses' is about the same as the people who say 'I use iphones because Apple makes sure I'm safe'.

It's been Apple's marketing strategy for a long time, despite being slightly exaggerated, early Macs did have viruses and yes, malware makes its way onto the app store.

But Apple's marketing strategy sure has been working a long time.

I don't remember ever seeing Apple promise that 100% of apps will be 100% safe 100% of the time. Can you provide a link?

Apple's review process is done by people. People make mistakes. Things get through when bad people are trying to hide that they're doing bad things. But I'll take Apple's 1-in-a-million mistake environment over the anything goes Android environment.
