South Korean military set to ban iPhones over ‘security’ concerns
Korea has the capabilities to make an android phone (Samsung). I'm pretty sure they can make Android with vetted source code and hardware. iPhone is just trust me bro™
Any software is “trust me bro” or you personally read through all source code of all software you are using? Question is can you make accountable bunch of folks from github or legal entity?
No, I do not since I am an individual which has no need for such high security/trust. A military of a certain nation certainly could (and probably should tbh). But I could if I wanted to, and I can't say the same for iOS. The difference with open source is that I can choose if I trust them or see it for myself instead.
Korea can ask Samsung, a local company, to make a secure phone. No need to open the doors to American spies.
Nice that you ignored that a country (Korea) can vet code, instead setting up a strawman of "can you vet source code".
