Sadly this won’t do much to Apple in the long term. As an owner of an iPhone and an iPad, I’ve turned off every last “convenience” tool and still don’t feel completely secure/private.
The wife and I will definitely be going the Droid route next time around.
Make sure you check out the phone that’s hosting the Droid system. My friend has one (don’t remember which one it is, but I believe he’s got Verizon) and he can’t remove the battery.
Google! Now that's a company you can really trust your privacy to.
The video on the page is top notch - a presentation by an expert, journalist and security researcher Jacob Appelbaum.
You’re fooling yourself if you think they can’t access a Droid just as readily as an iPhone or any other “smart” phone.
After viewing the videos on how to replace an iPad battery vs an HTC phone, the choice is clear.
Well I have an Android and I feel no more secure. I’d bet that if they are doing this to Apple then they are doing this to all the others too.
The NSA knows you turned those features off, and because you value your privacy they've just put you on a watch list......
