> Most people don't want cracked apps on their devices, and they want secure, privacy-focused phones

I agree - but apple fails on this point.

You should be able to protect your own phone. You should be able to install a firewall or further sandboxing, functions that the app store prohibit.

This is really simple:

- You should be able to find out what an app is doing - you should know what sites an app contacts - you should be able to block this - you should be able to block apple itself

This is so common sense yet not possible using apple's app store.
