Comment on IOS 6.1 hack lets users see your phone app, place callsparent

Comments

Why would Apple intentionally add a backdoor like this to iOS? If their goal was to create a way for LEO/courts/etc. to access locked phones, why wouldn't they make the backdoor function only when the phone is in DFU mode, or make a separate application that can access locked phones, and strictly control access to that application?
