    Edward Snowden Retweeted Matthew Green

    The only compelling reason for someone to buy an iPhone over more open, less expensive competitors was @Apple's stronger stance on users' right to privacy and security. This story and Forbes' Cellebrite report (https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2018/02/26/government-can-access-any-apple-iphone-cellebrite …) threaten the core of an iPhone's value.https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/968142229356404736 …

        This is a ridiculous statement. While privacy and security are certainly important, they are definitely not the core value of an iPhone. People pay a premium for iPhones for their easy-to-use iOS, seamless integration with other Apple products, and great design. Not for privacy.

        Just because YOU didn't consider it doesn't make it a less valid statement. Considering cellphone users password protect their phones & don't even allow their lovers & spouses to look at their cell phones freely & openly....Do you want the Trump Administration doing it?

        I did consider it, and I greatly value my privacy. However, Snowden's comment was that privacy is the iPhone's "core value", and that is simply absurd. Very few people are buying iPhones for their privacy/security.

        Pun intended?? 😉 I don't have data. Snowden said "the ONLY compelling reason to buy an iPhone... was Apple's stance on privacy". My argument is that there are several other reasons why people buy iPhones. I'm really not sure how anyone could disagree with that.

        The idea is that there a people who bough iPhone instead Android for that sole reason.

        I started buying all Apple for security purposes only. I had a business partner that had a thing for me and he hacked into my entire life. He was able to penetrate all of my work computers, home computers, tablets and phones. I spent 20K in one year on all Apple products.

        Also Android devices kinda suck. My pixel feels a lot worse than my iPhone in almost every way. Android has a lot of work to do on their user interface

        Agreed, but one of the strongest benefits of Android platform vs. iPhone is that it's hackable & personalizable to a large degree by the average user... Whereas iPhone takes state resources to crack.

        That I do agree with 100%. It's easy if someone figures it out for you and puts together guide but otherwise good luck. as apple software evolves this has gotten harder and harder to accomplish though. I'm a big fan of keeping things as original as possible though.
