It's just not fun to hack into systems/devices that people don't use as much. Why hack the Linux OS when you can hack Microsoft, which supports more people and bigger businesses?

If we all starting using Linux, we'd still have the same problem.

The whole point is Apple started on old parts, second hand, and parts that are vulnerable to many different ailments, for instance, apple notebooks are easily cracked, screens on IPODs crack with body heat, Apple Iphones weren't properly checked. (sounds alot like Microsoft) =D, the whole point is, If all phones/products where not Apple or Microsoft related we would have no problems, take for instance, most Japanese phones run on a Linux GNU based format and they have not once been attacked or had any specific flaw as big as what Apple and Microsoft try and hide, the fact that Apple took so long to fix this problem shows their "profit over customer relations attitude", that frankly, puts me off any Apple or Microsoft products. You don't get these kind of problems on Sony phone models or as i said before Linux systems.. Take heed!

Er not quite, it makes clear that the that whilst the vulnerability had been loosely demonstrated by a security firm the details of the exploit were not, at that time, publicly available and therefore the exploit posed no immediate practical threat to iPhone users.
