"Well, well -- it's not that US President Barack Obama hasn't considered the iPhone, but he isn't allowed to use Apple's device because of &amp;quot;security reasons,&amp;quot;\u00A0Reuters reports.\r\n\r\nObama made the news in 2009 when he\u00A0fought a fierce battle\u00A0with Secret Service to keep his trusty BlackBerry with him when he took on the nation\u2019s top role, and so far, he\u2019s been BlackBerry\u2019s most high-profile fan.\r\n\r\nIt seems like BlackBerry may have been his only choice among consumer handsets after all. It's not like the iPhone doesn't hold appeal -- after all, Obama's daughters are Apple fans as seen at the\u00A0president\u2019s second inauguration.\r\n\r\nApple was\u00A0first implicated\u00A0as being complicit with NSA\u2019s\u00A0PRISM\u00A0surveillance program earlier this year, but the company\u00A0denied its involvement, saying that it had never heard of it.\r\n\r\nImage via Justin Sullivan/Getty Images, thumbnail image via\u00A0Aude Guerrucci-Pool/Getty Images\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
