It's not yet even possibly to reliably detect the infection because of the closed nature of the device.

I think I'd like to check my iPhone, but I can't reliably do that.

So that, for a start, would help.

Reading the dump? That isn't nearly as effective as giving users the ability to administer their system. That is in no way an alternative.
