The iPhone has secret spyware that lets governments watch users without their knowledge, according to Edward Snowden’s lawyer.
The NSA whistleblower doesn’t use a phone because of the secret software, which his lawyer says can be remotely activated to watch the user.
“Edward never uses an iPhone, he’s got a simple phone,” Anatoly Kucherena told Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
“The iPhone has special software that can activate itself without the owner having to press a button and gather information about him, that’s why on security grounds he refused to have this phone based on security grounds.”
