> Imagine being dumb enough to believe that PR campaign. If you actually believe that the spooks don’t have iPhone back doors after the PRISM slide leaks, I don’t even know what to say… My pet theory is that because Apple can ship personalized iOS software updates to specific iPhones - and assuming that iPhone has automatic iOS update installation enabled (which is the default now, previously it wasn't) then Apple could essentially OTA-push an intentionally compromised iOS build to someone's phone and they'd be none-the-wiser. That hardly requires any backdoors or even any security vulnerabilities - just someone with access to Apple's iOS build signing keys.
