So busy trying to lock out jailbreaking that they forget to bug test important features...

The serious "bug" would cause everyone to want to upgrade to the latest iOS, even if there is no Jailbreak. Apple's Jailbreak problem solved...

Of course, I'm making the utterly horrible assumption, that the new version of iOS would be unjailbreakble... Also there are ways to downgrade to older version of iOS even after Apple servers stop verifying the old ipsw files...

Maybe apple planned this in the first place.

I've had countless times people who own/want Apple products say "They don't get viruses." Well they way the world is now by having a "computer" in the palm of your hand they really need to look at the whole perceptive and realize they people are the true virus. If people want to get into something bad enough they will.

I'm not in the cult of Apple, but I agree with Steve on this. They need to stop trying to stop jailbreaking and work on improving what they have.
