"That apps on Apple's devices are more secure is an illusion." Yeah, and careful sandboxing of each app and control of the functions you use has nothing to do with security either. Apple knows what functions you use and when, and the data you send receive using them. They know the format, nothing else is needed. That's one of the reason they only let you use documented calls. For me its easy to make a software that monitors that activity,so with so many people smarter than me, I can not imagine that Apple has not done it. I know they have automated tools for analyzing Apps proposals, so I'm confident they monitor live the apps activity.
