> All they're saying is that the existence of third party software compromises Apple's ability to make blanket statements about the security and privacy of this one specific platform.

We’ve also got examples of Apple making misleading statements about the security and privacy of their platform, as a result of government gag orders.

That recent disclosure makes me suspect that every vector that they do not disclose explicitly as being private, is very much not private. To that end, the platform is clearly neither private nor secure if you value privacy from the government.

…so I’m not particularly concerned about third party software being a cause for concern anymore.
