Software will solve iPhone security glitch
A security glitch that makes it easy to access stored data on the iPhone can be fixed with a software patch. Apple says that the patch is in the works and will be released in September.
Currently an unauthorized user can exploit that security hole by double-pressing the button to make an emergency call. According to Apple, iPhone owners can change the settings so that double-clicking the button returns the user to the home screen instead of bringing up their contact list.

iPhone security problem can not be solved because it is the system architecture problem.
Wireless security problem must be fixed in the MAC layer or lower. Any resolution in the application or high-layer does not solve anything.
High-layer solution can only increase the overheader of the packets resulting in low capacity and low transmission speed.
