Apple can literally execute any code they want on any of the devices users are licensing from them.

Those that exchange money for Apple devices are under the very mistaken impression that they own them or have any reasonable expectation of privacy on them.

Why don't Apple customers start a class action for misleading ads? From Apple's ads: "Privacy. That's iPhone."...

The ads are sorta true --- within the context and confines of the vendor/sucker relationship and terms of service agreement.

But once you do anything that Apple does not approve of, they'll cut you off, lock your phone and your data and throw you to the wolves.

Oh, and by the way, they have full access and will be watching and checking everything you do with your device.
