Think about what the NSA really did here in 2008. Apple didn't need to help the NSA do this. Here's why: The NSA exploited a bug in the iPhone in the same way that the jailbreak community has been doing since the iPhone came out in 2007. The only difference is that the NSA installed malware where as the jailbreak apps install Cydia. Remember jailbreakme.com? That is a browser based root vulnerability. Find an exploit in the iPhone's mail, sms, browser, or any other app, and you could too install malware. Of course this is not easy with the security of the iPhone, but with NSA like resources there is no such thing as bulletproof security.
