Donald Trump think the bully pulpit loves to use.
His favorite megaphone Twitter, most of New York's Maggie sending tweets per Haber man "old, unsecured Android phone," especially while watching TV at night.
Trump allies have tried to take the phone, but they failed. Trump sent Best Tweets Android as recently as Friday.
Photographic evidence of this phone is the Samsung Galaxy S3, was first launched in 2012 and received an Android security update at the end of 2015, which suggests.
Trump called experts believe is a security risk - they can be phished or hacked, experts say. This change in hearing any of Tool and a "room bug" The West Wing or the Oval Office that is understandable.
"This is the state of a great phone, art, but it does not take pictures, you can not text, the phone does not work, you can not play your music on it," Obama said last year.
But that does not mean that the need to carry around a security risk.
A middle way is not original, and the Secret Service said the proposal can not be love - while iPhone's still trading instruments - the "cyber" Trump would make a lot safer as they put a bar .
Trump should receive a call.
This is not a debate between security experts, Apple's mobile operating system, iOS, is more secure than free Android.
Since Apple controls the software that runs on the iOS, usually less malicious code that is able to infiltrate a device.
Apple is a lot of decisions that might seem tough, but smart from a security standpoint. For example, all iOS apps - like Twitter - which means that their traffic is encrypted, App are forced to use roads.
Apple iPhone Bureau data without the help of the iPhone a dead terrorist, because the iPhone was full disk can not remove handle encryption discovered when angry FBI in 2016 Lee. And foreign aid provided to the company, Celebrity, doubt that the current iPhone can not hack, it was discovered in a recent data warehouse.
Most importantly, iPhone s security updates on a regular basis to get the patch flaws. Trump these alleged the Galaxy S3 was not as old use a phone as it is the most up Apple's latest operating system bug fixes to date, iOs 10, found can.
But a phone that will not be the trump unshakable. It is a foreign state can use a "cyber weapon" takes advantage of undiscovered flaws in Apple's code that is understandable. cyber weapon of this type, the first to be targeting iOS, was discovered last year.
But Apple fixed these bugs as soon as it learned about them.
Trump may have some loyalty to Samsung. He even tweeted earlier this week - a phone, can potentially bring a partner - he suggested that some Samsung manufacturing in the US has prompted a report. And a Samsung subsidiary company $ 150,000 to a speech in 2015, paid according to FEC filings. (Samsung did not respond to a request for comment.)
But their preference for non-trump the old phone to hit the enemies should be an attractive risk that should not be.
The Trump component can not get to stop the tweeting, but at least they believe it is safer than using a smartphone. A Phone 7, a bargain for a bit of extra security starts at $ 650.
