Anybody believe that the Chinese government could insert a “chip” into an Iphone at the factory, and that Apple somehow missed that inside that tiny case in the QC process? That somehow the point on the assembly line where it was inserted, and the billion chips somehow escaped notice?
PT Barnum was right.
You do realize that chip engineering occurs at nano scale these days? And they’re 3-Dimensional structures? Hiding circuitry is not only possible, it has been occurring for years. They’re not building chips with soldering irons and magnifying glasses anymore.
PT Barnum isn’t even known to the current generation.
