Funny you should mention that.

The government is able to spy on people through their phones microphone, even if the phone is turned off.

Only one way to disable that.....remove the battery.

Only one phone has that option. Guess which one?

Hint: It ain’t 5he Apple.

I have a way to thwart that... My phone is just used for work and is not surgically attached to my hand or ear... it gets left home A LOT ,, they can listen in to an empty room all they want,, maybe they like listening to my dogs snoring...

I’m seriously considering starting a business where I mod your phone by killing the GPS location chip, burn the power trace on the motherboard... and the same for cars ,, kill the location data and make the memory that stores throttle and brake position and all the other data the police will use against you volatile or so small that it constantly overwrites itself.

As with many of the other tidbits you’ve posted in this thread, this isn’t accurate.

If you’re paranoid about your phone being tapped, you can just put it in a metal box (Faraday cage). Much more convenient than removing and replacing the battery too!
