Apple Can Remotely Remove Apps

Big brother really is watching. Not only can Apple remove app’s from the App Store (I Am Rich was removed yesterday shortly after we posted our article), but it has now surfaced that Apple can also remotely disable applications from individual phones as well. Apple will only do this to malicious apps so that it can wipe them out from your phone before they cause too much trouble.

If Apple sticks to only wiping our Apps that are malicious then things may be okay, but this is one serious invasion of privacy in my opinion. We all know that the Feds are already listening to our phone conversation and reading our email, but you can now add your apps to the list as well.
