This seems completely disconnected to me. Why should we 'thank' Apple for the walled garden, if the walled garden is unable to protect the security of the people inside? Miller was only caught because he displayed the vulnerability in a presentation. Had he not done that, his app would still be in the app store, and he could be malicious in using the security whole to access data of those who installed it. How does the author jump from the security whole being exposed and Miller being kicked out, to this being a good thing because Apple is 'protecting' their users. The users weren't protected. Worse, I think people expect the apps in the app store to be safe, but it appears apple is unable to guarantee this. When downloading an app from the web, I think their is a bit of an understanding that the app may not be secure. But I thought part of the reason for the approval process was for Apple to ensure everything was safe. The App store is Apple's seal of approval.
