Apple bans iPhone 3G patch omission talk from forum

[Jack]

A Reg reader who brought up Apple's decision to exclude the iPhone 3G and other older devices from its latest security update on an official forum has received a firm rebuke for his effort.

Apparently the post, which was quickly deleted, failed three separate rules of the Apple Discussions soviet, as a curt notice to our source explained (extract below):

Apple removed your post on Apple Discussions, titled "Please Apple, you cannot leave a major share of your customers vulnerable," because it contained the following:
Speculation or Rumors Discussion of Apple Policies, Procedures or Decisions Petitions

Damn straight. Frankly our man can consider himself fortunate not to have his account deleted for suggesting Apple (at minimum) ought to release patches for Safari for the iPhone 3G. An iOS 4.3 update, released on Wednesday, which includes a number of critical security fixes, is incompatible with both the iPhone 3G and older versions of the iPod Touch. You need the iPhone 3GS, or later, or iPod Touch third generation to take advantage of the update, which includes a number of critical security fixes as well as performance and functionality improvements.

Yeah, but not as bad as Apple does.

I guess some things do change ...

back on topic now. Not talking about it doesn't mean that it isn't there. You're not allowed to jailbreak your iphone, but at least jailbroken users will be safe (if they download the correct patches).
I guess Apple doesn't really care about security

Apple thinks they OS are more or less malware free and also bug free. Since apple is not as big as Windows they don't give security errors so high value.
