Was the iOS SSL Flaw Deliberate?

I really hope Apple will disclose its findings on this matter, in name of the transparency they're advocating. Imagine if Apple itself states something along the lines of "we found out that the line of code responsible for the bug was planted on purpose". Should they make such a statement? Better: COULD they make it?

I fear they'd be too concerned about the potential impact on their business.

I'd love to see it, but I seriously doubt it. Apple is secretive to an incredibly annoying degree.

Has Apple even publicly discussed the basic details of this bug? As far as I've seen, every single bit of analysis has come from outside the company, based on simply viewing the source code. Apple acknowledged that there is a vulnerability, but they haven't even said what it is in any detail.
