This just shows the ignorance of the bill's author, Assemblyman Matthew Titone. If you live in New York and have the ability to vote for this person's opponent next time he is up for election, you should probably do so. Apple/Google et al are not going to make an insecure "New York Edition" of their operating systems and phones. Cell dealers in the state would simply not have any phones to sell that comply with the law, and New Yorkers would either go without phones or would buy them from out of state on eBay. I'll let you guess which of those outcomes is most likely. Apple Stores in New York would have to stop carrying the iPhone. Of course none of this will ever happen, because this bill is idiotic and would cause enormous economic damage to the state. But dangerous, ignorant politicians like this should be voted out of office at the earliest opportunity.
