>>
Terrorists hate freedom.
iOS is restrictive, governed by 1 'all knowing' entity.
>>
Most other phones doesn't have storage encryption by default. When u set a pass on iPhone u cryptography all your phone.

because steve jobs was part arab

Because Apple offers better security/privacy.

I hate to say it but you know it's true.

Where is the home button?

>clearly not an iPad
>nanny state calls it an "iPad" anyway to reinforce the notion that only criminals and terrorists need encryption in order to paint Apple as a friend of terrorism/criminal activity

Oh, it's a Microsoft Surface iPad. Like on the football.
>>
>>53666370
That looks like an Asus Memopad.
I have one.

Samsung Galaxy iPad.

>>53667049
Asus MemoiPad.
>>
>>53666370
Because they are easy to use.
>>
Only a stupid person would use an iPad, and terrorists are really fucking stupid. Checks out.
>>
>>53666370
Because they are superior in almost any way. Just because terrorists have a silly political opinions doesn't mean that they are tech illeterates.

The real question is: Why does even the CEO of Google use Apple.

He is gay.

>>53669793
But why doesn't he use rosegold or at least silver then? What is going on??
>>
>>53668723
Because he was on the Apple board for a very long time and Android is Lary Page's thing.
>>
>>53670843
So what? Is Android not worth switching then? Did he not find a single Android device better than his iPhone?

Doesn't look too good when one of your top people prefers another company.
>>
>>53671149
He is literally also one of Apples top people. That's my whole point. It doesn't matter which sides he uses, he would be betraying the other side.

Journalists are fucking retarded, journalism is dead. And this is fucking hilarious.
>>
>>53668553

That about sums it up really. iPhones are great for children, grandmas, and inbred sand niggers.
>>
>>53666370
Because Android ain't good enough for mission critical ; )

Because thankfully, they are morons who know nothing about security

http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2016/01/what-was-the-software-with-the-most-vulnerabilities-in-2015-hint-its-not-windows/

Having a locked platform that can't run unsigned code isn't actually that secure -- it's just inconvenient. If a signed application has a bug in it that can allow arbitrary execution of code, then the entire model collapses. How do you think jailbreaking happens? Someone takes advantage of one of the many insecure applications in iOS, and uses it to install a backdoor. If a white hat hacker can use this to give freedom to iOS users, what's to say a black hat can't use the same vulnerability to install a keylogger on the device?

Do you think that the NSA can't compromise an iPad? Newsflash: they can, and it is unlikely that there will ever come a time anytime soon when they cannot. Why? Because Apple is the worst with regards to vulnerabilities. In 2015, Mac OS X had the most vulnerabilities of any software on the market, and iOS had the second most. Behind iOS was Adobe Flash. Yes, that's right. Your iPhone, which you feel makes you totally safe from the government, has more vulnerabilities than a plugin that might as well be considered a backdoor into your computer through your browser.

I know you'd all like to argue, "all these smart people use iOS, so logically it must be more secure," but this is faulty logic. Even CEOs are capable of making uninformed decisions.

The company that has countless times had its web browser compromised first in hacking competitions;
which has taken months to fix the rootpipe exploit after its discovery, only for an NSA employee to point out that the exploit was still there; which ships its desktop OS with a requirement in the EULA that it not be used in nuclear power plants; cannot be trusted with security under any circumstances.
