About two years ago, when Eric Snowden first released information about a supposed way of hacking into iPhones called “DropoutJeep” from October 2008, Angela Merkel got rid of her iPhone. Actually DropoutJeep was a “close access exploit” and required that the NSA have had actual possession of the iPhone at sometime to install the exploit spyware. DropoutJeep could not be downloaded or installed remotely to the iPhone. It would not have worked on her newer iPhone at all. Perhaps he was letting her know those facts.

Cook reportedly told Merkel that Germans "have the same views on privacy as I do."

You know if German Chancellor Angela Merkel ever left her iPhone someplace or not?
