The American people have been given plenty of reasons to doubt anything that President Trump has to say since his inauguration, with so many of his promises coming to nothing. Now, they can add his call to boycott Apple products to the list of things Trump flip-flops on since he just got a brand new iPhone.
On one hand, replacing Trump’s old Samsung handset with an iPhone goes a long way towards improving his security since Apple has a famously rigorous protection system in place. Then again, this development also serves to highlight the billionaire’s propensity to say one thing and mean another, as CNET points out.
Trump first called for the boycott when Apple refused to allow the FBI access to the iPhone of one of the terrorists behind the San Bernardino shooting. It seems the president has had a change of heart, however, and the presence of Apple CEO Tim Cook during the tech summit held by the current administration a while back might have something to do with.
Others are also pointing out the fact that Trump seems to be softening his stance on China made products since the iPhone is made in China. There have been no developments to indicate that Apple intends to change this setup anytime soon, either.
With regards to security matters, the iPhone is infinitely preferable to the old Android unit that Trump was using until recently. However, it’s not exactly foolproof, Engadget reports. It can still be hacked, especially if the perpetrators are determined enough. As the president of the United States, Trump is a particularly big target by a much wider range of hackers.
In order to keep his contact details and activities truly safe, former president Barrack Obama even ditched his highly secure BlackBerry with a unit that is not even consumer grade. In comparison, Trump’s attitude towards security is downright cavalier.
