Here is a quote for you though.

Note that this is very different from just removing an application from the App Store. In case of this black listing, Apple could presumably deauthorize applications already installed on every iPhone.
Deauthorize applications already installed?

Sounds like it could be any application then.

so basically this turns out to be a blacklist that disables an app's ability to access the iphones core location service...

so very very good for privacy

Perhaps this is a good thing. However, I'm surprised Apple wasn't touting it, they are the masters of marketing.

Yet another reason to avoid the iPhone.
you prolly didnt even read it.

news flash, Apple, a huge and very profitable company, is going to invade everyone's privacy because it will bring soo much good stuff to their company. oh wait what? all it would bring is lawsuits. They arent doing anything retarded like all you apple haters WANT them to do. its a fusking company i dont get why everyone is so against it.

It's not from the article, but from common sense. I personally think the article is mainly biased, so I take it with a grain of salt.

I know for sure Apple isn't retarded enough to take out the stock apps like Camera or Safari via this method.

And since this can't affect homebrew, guess what's left.
