It's an always-on Internet connected home microphone. What do people think it is doing?
- mikeash 7y agoThat description fits your cell phone too, except it’s “everywhere you go” rather than “home.” Do you expect it to record you?
- idlewords 7y agoThe cell phone is not voice activated. That said, I do expect the worst of it.
- mikeash 7y agoNot that you know of....
- btgeekboy 7y agoIt can be. Both as a user-activated and potentially remotely via a security vulnerability.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoEvery smartphone has access some sort of assistant whether its Siri, Google, Alexa or even Cortana. Some of those come out of the box with annoying defaults.
- saagarjha 7y agoIsn’t that literally what “Hey Siri”, “Ok Google”, etc. are?
- tptacek 7y agoYou can (and probably should) disable Siri on an iPhone and the phone works just great without it.
- sergiotapia 7y agoThe celphone does in fact record you. I don't care what THEY say publicly.
- saagarjha 7y agoWhat “fact” backs this suspicion?
