   Hi nospam,   
      
   For the permanent record, and for the purpose of responding to your lack of   
   knowledge, I will treat you as if you're an adult in this message, nospam.   
      
   Actually it does. Very much so. On both sides, in fact. You're no fan of   
   James B. Comey (and neither am I, because of his political shenanigans).   
      
   I doubt you own the cognitive capacity to understand the details, so I will   
   summarize for your low-IQ brain that Comey had _hundreds_ of iPhones to   
   choose from, all of which had data far more important than _that_ iPhone.   
      
   There was something "special" about _that_ iPhone, nospam, and you don't   
   even own the cognition to realize what it was, bearing in mind it was a   
   _government_ owned iPhone so they _knew_ there would be almost nothing on   
   it that they didn't _already_ have since they had their own recent backups.   
      
   No. You won't be able to comprehend what intelligent people can, nospam.   
      
   Comey carefully chose _that_ iPhone because it had special shock value.   
   He chose it _specifically_ because he wanted to garner _emotions_ nospam.   
      
   If you think Comey isn't an intelligent & shrewd politician, then you'd be   
   wrong, nospam, because he played a game and Apple was happy to play along.   
      
   Since you iKooks never read the news, you're likely completely blissfully   
   unaware that they eventually did get a full dump off that phone (courtesy   
   of the zero-day holes which I already explained to you all iPhones have).   
      
   And there was nothing of import (which, of course, they knew ahead of time   
   was going to be the case since they had plenty of the phone's backups).   
      
   Because you iKooks own the brain of Alan Browne, Snit, Alan Baker, Jolly   
   Roger, Lewis, et al., you can't even fathom why Apple played along, nospam.   
      
   Apple was _also_ quite happy to "make a stink" about the phone, even as   
   Apple helped them as much as Apple could, but behind the scenes.   
      
   To their credit, Apple didn't implement a back door just for them, nospam,   
   but _nobody_ would have done that (not even Samsung or Huawei, who, heh   
   heh, point being taken when I mention Huawei that they likely already have   
   given it to China - but that's also too complex for your low IQ brain).   
      
   In summary, I doubt you own the adult cognitive skills to comprehend that   
   Comey was playing political games and Apple was happy to play along.   
      
   It suited both of them in terms of the politics & marketing they wished to   
   publicly achieve (even though both of them worked closely together behind   
   the scenes).   
      
   In the end, it doesn't change the fact that the security between iPhones   
   and Android phones is COMPLETLY DIFFERENT in that the iPhone is incredibly   
   insecure in so many ways it's hard to count, even as Android is also as   
   insecure in some of those many way.   
      
   One of which though, is the iPhone has the most zero-day holes (for years   
   on end) of any smartphone on this planet - which is a damning fact, nospam.   
      
     *To own an iPhone is to _already_ be hacked!*   
   --   
   Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information   
   which, in this case, is to faithfully explain to these incredibly dense   
   iKooks what anyone with normal adult cognition already long ago knew.
