- wmf 17y agoWe're talking about security vulnerabilities introduced by third-party apps, so your list isn't relevant. An approved third-party iPhone app cannot include a daemon, therefore it's less likely that a bug in said app would allow worms to get into the phone.
- ryanpetrich 17y agoWorms don't require a user-installed daemon when the Apple-provided ones are also vulnerable (example: the SMS vulnerability in 3.0) I agree though, disallowing third-party daemons reduces the damage exploited apps can do.
