Why does the latest tv ad for the Apple iBone try and make a big deal about their supposed security and privacy virtues? They get hacked and compromised by bad people like any other smartphone, and criminals the World over have discovered that the authorities can crack them with little difficulty.
Indeed, its Apple's own fault that they can be cracked so easily - they famously refused to cooperate with the FBI with one high profile investigation, so the Feds turned to Cellebrite (owned by the IDF) and the technical might of the Israeli military cracked it within hours. Cellebrite now make a lot of money selling the necessary equipment and software to anyone who wants it, whereas if Apple has cooperated with the Feds in the first place that would never have happened. Oh dear.
So why try and make a big deal out of an attribute that is no better than the average? "The new Ford Focus - its really, really ordinary", is unlikely to sell many units, so why does Apple think it will help them hit their targets?
