A ton of Apple people participate here on HackerNews and errbody in the industry saw the post on here about the takedown (almost 500 comments on it so far). Apple could let someone sell a full Linux distribution to run on iphones that have “Developer Mode” enabled (which would also limit AppleCare+ liability for thermal damage/shortened battery life etc.) Such a mode might also reasonably restrict the device from accessing some cellular networks while apps that rely upon it are running, remember that is why Jobs originally asserted the crypto control over native apps —to satisfy PacBell (oh, forgive me I mean’t “AT&T”) concern about pressure on the towers in those dark iPhone 3 days before VZ and others stepped up.
