I think its unfair to suggest that the reason iPhones have horrible code quality is because they don't go through some approval process. They don't have good code quality because, sadly, they don't need it. AAPL's market cap will show you that. BECAUSE iPhones aren't mission critical, BECAUSE they won't (directly?) kill anyone, they can get by with poor code quality. That market, for whatever reason, favors shiny over reliability. For an even better example: take iOS game. Those things have a shelf life of a few months, it would make no sense to make sure those things are battle tested.
