Well, for one, because the legion of fandroids would be here raving about the "evil Apple empire" if this story were about Apple, as it is about Android these same fandroids are saying that Apple are just as bad, if not worse.

I was going to post a comment mentioning how I heard it was installed on the iPhone but I was wrong it seems.

"Update: Our original article stated that the software also came preinstalled on iPhones and dumphones, which has not been confirmed. That information came from this article at Geeks.com, and we actually believe that to be a typo. Considering it hasn't been mentioned in any other source, and that the iPhone isn't on Eckhart's list of affected devices, we're removing it until other sources say otherwise. Thanks to everyone who pointed this out."
