if Apple couldn't show that they've checked EVERY app they've allowed on their phone (and, as a result, into the international cell network) without reasonably ensuring that the app doesn't cause an individual's phone to die or, worse, infect the iPhone net (and others) with bad or malicious code that could compromise the cell networks.

Android phones don't seem to have a problem, and as far as I am aware, there is no pre-screening process for apps. Granted, post-screening is done to remove certain tethering apps, but I am highly skeptical that it's possible to write an app capable to "infect the iPhone net".
