    It's no longer shocking how you fall for every marketing trick in the book.

    that had absolutely nothing to do with marketing.

    Hi nospam,

    For the permanent record, and for the purpose of responding to your lack of knowledge, I will treat you as if you're an adult in this message, nospam.

    Actually it does. Very much so. On both sides, in fact. You're no fan of
    James B. Comey (and neither am I, because of his political shenanigans).

    I doubt you own the cognitive capacity to understand the details, so I will summarize for your low-IQ brain that Comey had _hundreds_ of iPhones to
    choose from, all of which had data far more important than _that_ iPhone.

    There was something "special" about _that_ iPhone, nospam, and you don't
    even own the cognition to realize what it was, bearing in mind it was a _government_ owned iPhone so they _knew_ there would be almost nothing on
    it that they didn't _already_ have since they had their own recent backups.

    No. You won't be able to comprehend what intelligent people can, nospam.

    Comey carefully chose _that_ iPhone because it had special shock value.
    He chose it _specifically_ because he wanted to garner _emotions_ nospam.

    If you think Comey isn't an intelligent & shrewd politician, then you'd be wrong, nospam, because he played a game and Apple was happy to play along.

    Since you iKooks never read the news, you're likely completely blissfully unaware that they eventually did get a full dump off that phone (courtesy
    of the zero-day holes which I already explained to you all iPhones have).

    And there was nothing of import (which, of course, they knew ahead of time
    was going to be the case since they had plenty of the phone's backups).

    Because you iKooks own the brain of Alan Browne, Snit, Alan Baker, Jolly
    Roger, Lewis, et al., you can't even fathom why Apple played along, nospam.

    Apple was _also_ quite happy to "make a stink" about the phone, even as
    Apple helped them as much as Apple could, but behind the scenes.

    To their credit, Apple didn't implement a back door just for them, nospam,
    but _nobody_ would have done that (not even Samsung or Huawei, who, heh
    heh, point being taken when I mention Huawei that they likely already have given it to China - but that's also too complex for your low IQ brain).

    In summary, I doubt you own the adult cognitive skills to comprehend that
    Comey was playing political games and Apple was happy to play along.

    It suited both of them in terms of the politics & marketing they wished to publicly achieve (even though both of them worked closely together behind
    the scenes).

    In the end, it doesn't change the fact that the security between iPhones
    and Android phones is COMPLETLY DIFFERENT in that the iPhone is incredibly insecure in so many ways it's hard to count, even as Android is also as insecure in some of those many way.

    One of which though, is the iPhone has the most zero-day holes (for years
    on end) of any smartphone on this planet - which is a damning fact, nospam.

    *To own an iPhone is to _already_ be hacked!*

    Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information
    which, in this case, is to faithfully explain to these incredibly dense
    iKooks what anyone with normal adult cognition already long ago knew.
