In securing the system, however, Apple appears to have overlooked something – the iTunes and App Store apps pre-installed on every iPhone. Open one of these two apps and scroll down to the bottom of the overview page and the relevant account can simply be changed here. This is a problem in particular for businesses and parents wishing to use the block to prevent installation of unauthorised software.

According to 9to5mac, Apple is planning to rectify this oversight in a forthcoming update, but has declined to reveal when this will occur. Until then, the only workaround is, as under iOS 5, to block app installation completely.
