Is it? I never understood the reasoning. What makes you think Apple is better than Xiaomi/Samsung/Google/whatever?
- i_am_nomad 7y agoMaybe I should qualify that with, “outside of China.” If you’re using Apple phones in China, you should assume your data are available to the CCP. Otherwise, I have yet to see any evidence or indication that Apple collects data in a manner similar to what’s described in this article.

- diminish 7y agoAs Apple & Samsung(an ally) falls in slow motion behind Huawei soon behind Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo - Chinese intelligence gets a strong advantage against US Intelligence in backdooring. So I think beyond the occasional bashing of Lenovo, Huawei, now Xiaomi we shall see more fight going on and same should be happening in Chinese press too. - https://www.gsmarena.com/counterpoint_smartphone_sales_in_q1_2020_decline_13_on_a_global_scale-news-42974.php https://www.gsmarena.com/counterpoint_smartphone_sales_in_q1... The draconian smartphone (as a a backdoor & tracking device) beloved by the intelligence officers are now an area of a bitter fight.
