I'm going to run tcpdump on my iPhone for a while. To see what it will connect to. Checks like this must be done periodically I think. Who know what other things it is checking or sending to the mothership.

Apple is covering their ass... I think it's a fair measure.

Huh? When has a hardware vendor ever been liable for actions caused by third-party software installed by the end user?

Most iPhone users will not understand the responsibility divide between hardware vendor and third-party software.
