From BBC News Tech.

 

"Apple has said it is taking steps to remove malicious code added to a number of apps commonly used on iPhones and iPads in China."


Certainly one to follow. 

 

Ive not come across any posts from people affected thus far.

It was only a matter of time that Malware slipped through the tight security tests that Apple have in place.

 

The problem is once hackers find the slightest flaw they will exploit it  in different ways. Although there may not have been posts from users complaining they have the virus that is not to say many are not infected. I am sure a large percentage of iPhone users would not have a clue what to look out for if the phone started behaving strangely.

Very true and sound words.

Many do hold the belief that iOS is un hackable. Im sure we all remember the iCloud debacle and private pictures.

To add balance I think if a person does not use other App Stores then it's a safer option. This is why  do not have SD Cards and the ability to Bluetooth info in and out of iPhones. They 'SandBox' their operating systems.
