Huawei is forced by the Chinese government to leave a security vulnerability (backdoor) in their firmware to allow the government to snoop. There are 2-second download hacks to exploit these vulnerabilities. I bought a Huawei range-extender and the neighbours were into it within minutes (and I'm a network engineer). I had to make the apn silent and go to IP white-listing to keep the little bastards off it. Apparently this is across the brand.

OMG! A mobile phone brand that snoops on people! The horror!
We'd better use laptops, thank God Microsoft doesn't...oh, wait.
Good thing I'm with Metfone.

Maybe you should try Huawei. I have had mine for 3 years and it is still going and going. I have to admit that I have a love for Chinese made goods. If you do get an apple phone avoid the ones made in Croatia. Crapple phones are horrible.

Is it consenting, like the horse?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Offer it (the phone, not the horse) a cup of tea...
Edit - actually, as an experiment, could someone with an iPhone ask Siri if she'd like a cup of tea? I'm interested in the response!

People buy iPhones mainly for the image. Secondary is the phone itself, OS and features.
That’s one thing Apple have succeeded in doing where all the other phones have not - Created a product people aspire to own.
Every year we see headlines about some brand that produces an “IPhone killer”. It’s not about the phone.
People even wear Apple logos on t shirts or on their car for God’s sake!

Now, don't start posting stuff I agree with, that's just too challenging.
So, what you're saying is that Apple created a cult, right? Agreed.fatuousdrivel wrote: ↑Fri Jul 20, 2018 11:38 am People buy iPhones mainly for the image. Secondary is the phone itself, OS and features.
