Wow! Every week it seems on HN there are articles about the porous nature of iPhone impenetrability. Everything from zero click attacks in iMessages that have been unpatched since iOS 4 to Wi-Fi bugs that could be exploited for remote code execution without any user interaction at all. The problem that these exist is not even the issue. It's the glaring number and breadth of the exploits that make it likely these are just the tip of the iceberg. Apple has been sleeping at at wheel with regards to security and I can't imagine short of a "Snow Leopard" style crusade to fix security (back then it was performance), that this is going to change anytime soon.
