No, the real lesson from any similar discussion is to never, ever, ever trust any cell phone, or any other form of computer, period. It literally doesnt matter who assembles device, codes/builds OS or does full stack creation of components. It doesnt matter how many gigatons of Apple's koolaid you drank. If you are smart, use other ways or at least change very frequently burner phones (not very ecological but once you are a target for anybody powerful enough, unfortunately such concerns evaporate). The idea that 'this next solution solves everything' is really dumb, it failed spectacularly every single time so far.
The chain of elements from screen to packets sent over network, and network itself is extremely long and to claim each of the piece is 100% secure is not naive, just stupidly ignorant. Especially with all the scandals from manufacturers, NSA/CIA, Snowden revalations etc.
Or just dont do anything else that everybody else is doing, states nor corporations have no reason yet to go after almost everybody out there. But if you hold any position of power, even completely apolitical then you are already a target for decades and no amount of OS updates will make your phone actually secure.
- kenjackson 3y agoRealistically almost everyone needs some degree of trust in computers nowadays. Except for the the guy who lives off the grid in the woods in the middle of no where, you can’t function without some degree of trust.
