I’ll stick with Apple on this one. Who knows what the criminal Chinese have installed on this phone. Every purchase and search probably goes to them. The Chinese are the master hackers of the world.
I’d be more comfortable with an iPhone that wasn’t made in China. Only God and the Chinese government know what “features” have been added to Apple’s design by PLA engineers...
If the chinese lack engineering design talent to actually make something, how can they provide a functioning back door?
Can that be accomplished by a political order?
