As long as you don&#x27;t care if someone can attempt to pull the data from your phone like this, then sure: go ahead and buy that phone. The people generally in these threads, however, and apparently the opinion of Apple itself, is that the FBI should not be able to get the data off of this device; as it stands, Apple can guarantee their eventual success.<p>&gt; Better, they can even root it! Make it even more insecure! Install pirated software that hides malware and will steal their ids or their money! Now THAT&#x27;s choice and power to the user!<p>This makes no sense. Sure: someone can make their device less secure if they want. I absolutely support you doing that. They can also try to use vulnerabilities to take back control of their device and make it more secure (though with an iPhone there are some serious issues with this, due to how almost impossible it is to lock Apple out). But what does this have to do with the conversation at hand? Can you connect any of this back with the FBI discussion?
