I disagree. We're talking about the most closed-off and spiteful technology company here (who do make very pretty products). Not only that, but why in the world would the "security" issue be a more logical when Tim Cook said the following:
"However, we will not stand for having our IP [intellectual property] ripped off, and we’ll use whatever weapons that we have at our disposal. I don’t know that I can be clearer than that." [1]

- jemmons 17y agoSpiteful? Really? You think Apple as a company acts out of a bitter, vicious, unreasoning desire for revenge? I think closing security holes and protecting IP both sound like far more reasonable motivations. Love to see evidence to the contrary, though. It's sure to be juicy stuff.
- philwelch 17y agoSpiteful as Apple could be, I would characterize "not allowing rogue USB devices to spoof iPhones and suck sensitive data out of iTunes" as a definite security issue as well as a definite IP non-issue.
