Apple can remove the app you installed remotely

    If we have some malicious app in the future, Apple can help us to de-authorize it. Developers found that who download and install applications from App Store, Apple can disable it remotely. Apple has made an URL which lists the blacklisted app, currently there is no one one the list. If there is any in the future, Apple can remove it from your iPhone automatically. No matter it is free or paid applications.

    This raise a serious concern about privacy. How could Apple remotely control people’s mobile phone without any notice? Can’t wait to see what will happen when Apple starts to do so.
