    I wouldn’t have a problem with Apples message if they had actually unilaterally enforced the restrictions on App Store Apps.

    The Facebook app should have been banned dozens of times and still flagrantly violates lots of App Store rules.

    If I were in charge of Apple App Store policy right now, I would provide access to a third party apps but also Secure their own App Store. Purge the bad actors and develop a legitimate reputation as the only way to have a secure iPhone.

    A few high media profile incidents in the 3rd Party App Stores will vindicate them.

    Not all Australians. Just those using iPhones.

    Anybody that cares about this has already made their choices long ago.

    Apple is probably right but it’s not a valid excuse to lock down the entire system.
