We have made the argument before that Apple devices are not as safe as many would claim and when they are the stories tend to go unnoticed or unreported. Here is an example of how Apple treats people who reveal security flaws according to a story at TGDaily:

“Apple's booted security researcher Charlie Miller out of its iOS developer program for revealing a security flaw in iPhones and iPads.

Miller discovered that it was possible to create an app for the App Store that passed all the company's security checks - but which was nevertheless able to download illegitimate commands onto the device.

As a result, the app was able to access photos and contacts and even make the device vibrate or play sounds.”
