You want to be protected from big, bad law enforcement...while gladly and willingly handing over all your private and personal data to Google and Facebook.
Chances of law enforcement wanting to break into your phone to get your personal data: 0.00000001% Chances of Facebook wanting to get your personal data: 100%
SMH.
Posting a picture of you on vacation ≠ handing over account passwords and other personal data that actually needs to be secured. You'd have a better argument by saying that it's all pointless since the Experian hack probably gave countless people access to all your CC data, addresses, and workplace, and spending habits, but even that would be easily shot down.
Do you know you can easily prove your comment is full of shit? Because law enforcement wants access to devices and pays a lot of money to companies that find ways to hack into devices instead of just getting a warrant to access your data from Facebook. It's almost as if private, personal messages you send to people via the encrypted iMessage service are not part of the data they would obtain from Facebook. ߤ䦬t;/div>
Oh, they get the Facebook data, too. It’s just that Facebook hands it over on a silver platter, so no effort there. The lazy bastards just want MORE private data, and feel entitled to your personal privacy on your phone as well.
If the USB connection is severed via software, won't there be a workaround done via a similar law enforcement gray box? I imagined a hardware cutoff of the Lightning port, like a physical switch that literally moves the pins, but I digress.
I see this being hacked within 48 hours of public release.
The cat and mouse game begins. The government is now treated like jailbreakers.
Does this break carplay, since you could be driving more than hour and be hooked up to the car via lightning port. Imagine your driving and your navigation stopped since the lightning port just shut off.
I suspect that a continuous connection is allowed like with carplay, but as soon as you unplugged it from the car (like at a gas station), you'd have to unlock it again before plugging it back in.
My car play is wireless and I've only had it a week or so, my iPhone just needs to be in my pocket, not even on so I don't look at it. I have noticed it doesn't work after gassing up but I never thought about this! Thanks! I bet it needs unlocking.
