Wouldn't one assume that once the phone is powered up there is some kind of code at startup or scheduled that would query an apple update server about updates,fixes,etc. At that point it is reasonable that a company such as Apple would force certain updates into the phone whether the customer wanted that or not? All Apple would have to do is direct the phone to a phoney update site containing code that would dump RAM to an outside server. No other phones would be affected and the data would be retrieved
