> Apple's systems

Systems aren't just technical (software), they involve human beings, feedback loops, interactions, etc. Apple's security systems are in fact weak, just not weaker than the norm.

Actually I think the Apple press release was poorly worded. This in particular:

>None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple’s systems

There was indeed a breach in Apple's system, there just wasn't a system wide breach that compromised all accounts, just a select few.
