Apple sales in China are ~10% of the market and falling.
In the US (especially high value targets) are ~50% or higher. That's not a good ratio for the US. I suspect the numbers for Russia are more similar to China. Targeting your own people (and not trying to secure the system) isn't a good strategic plan.
- nickelcitymario 8y agoOk, so it's 10%. Thought experiment: You're a chinese spy. Your enemy is pouring tonnes of effort into hacking the phones made by your own country, but have chosen to put zero effort into hacking those made by theirs. Which phone do you use? Meanwhile, your own people are good at hacking both American and Chinese phones. So in this scenario, the USA's decision to not try to hack products made by American companies leaves them at a decided disadvantage to China's decision to hack all of them.
