Already did, repeatedly. Sandboxing. 

And airdrop, continuity, handoff, only being able to
get apps from the store so you can be sure that it has
been checked by apple to ensure that it isnt malicious
and with a mechanism that allows apple to remove
it from your iOS device if it manages to slip thru the 
checks and is discovered to be malicious later.

None of the above has anything to do with jailbroken iOS devices.

None of the above is.

All of the above are, and plenty more too.
