The thing that people always miss is that the damn SIM card is running its own little processor already. If the government really wants to read your shit they can probably just do some behind the scenes work with your mobile ISP and find a way to access your phones screen output or microphone data or something.
- gumby 4y agoThe baseband module has a processor too, and you don't have access to it per FCC regulation.
- lilyball 4y agoiPhone 14 doesn't even have a SIM card anymore, it's strictly eSIM (and previous models could optionally use eSIM).

- madars 4y agoIf I really wanted a physical SIM and imported a European SKU which does have it (only North American variant is eSIM-only), would I expect seamless support in the US? E.g. would AppleCare just work?
