A follow-up. Apple's carefully worded response in this Reuters article.

Apple says "we have found no evidence". To me, this doesn't rule out that ZecOps found evidence. No doubt the story will unfold some more, one way or another.

Unless Apple and others (ie: google/facebook and friends) are spying on everything going in/out of these devices, how would they know ?

And no offense to the users, I doubt the average person would have a clue as long as the device works. I would say this can happen, and probaly is happening, on all other walled garden devices (not just Apple).
