If you have any apps that Apple does not want you to have, for example the “Tethering App” your iPhone may eventually phone home and the iPhone will disable it and prevent you from using it.
C|Net News.com says the author of “iPhone Open Application Development and an iPhone forensics manual” has found a URL inside the coding of the iPhone software that list bad apps. While the list is currently empty he fears that Apple can easily tell iPhones to disable applications.
Looking at the supposed Blacklist Apps page, the wording on it makes me wonder if Apple just wants to disable Apps it considers malicious such as spyware or maybe an App that simply does not work correctly and interferes with the normal use of the phone.
