> Kill Your App Any Time I'm rather shocked to see the EFF linking to the horribly wrong old Telegraph article about Steve Jobs purportedly confirming that there was a kill-switch that would remove apps from iPhones. At least as of the time that was written, that was not true. The referenced "line of secret code" (hyperlink is broken), IIRC, was actually referring to a CoreLocation blacklist, not an application blacklist, with the intended usage being to be able to disable GPS functionality in certain regions if local governments demanded it, and that blacklist never actually ended up being used and was removed entirely in a future OS update.
