- So, with all the news about how Apple is making it impossible for the company to turn over data from iOS to police, how does that compare to BB10? I know that BlackBerry has been historically really secure �*just want to know how it compares. Genuine question, not trolling.
See the story here:
Apple will no longer unlock most iPhones, iPads for police, even with search warrants - The Washington Post09-18-14 01:57 PMLike 0 - its hard to say. Not much is known about the improvements in iOS 8 for security. I would say it would be nice to see if its less hackable and how fast it gets jailbroken09-18-14 02:09 PMLike 0

Your companies smartphone devices and all the data on it plus all your emails in your Outlook all belong to the company and not you. So if you are fired and they go through your emails or the info on your company phone they which they are legally permitted to and find anything they should be able to turn it over the police.09-18-14 02:20 PMLike 0 -
The "company" here refers to Apple -- not the corporate owner of an employee-operated phone.
Thumb-flicked from my Z30 via CB1009-18-14 03:04 PMLike 0 - It's interesting to me that 4 years ago, the Indian government was threatening to forbid BIS email and BBM unless RIM provided encryption keys. Apple neatly side-steps this issue, but I wonder how long before the US government slaps them with an injunction.
From back in the day: "India fears that RIM's encryption of messages will allow miltants to plan and arrange terrorist campaigns like the attacks on Mumbai over two years ago. By blocking BlackBerry Enterprise email and Messenger services, India hopes RIM will relent and hand over access to messaging so they can monitor communications through its networks."

If you want full security you have to disable the cloud backup and sync features. And iMessage. How many iPhone users will do that. If they can arrange the encryption so only the owner can unlock the phone, they can make it so only the user can decrypt the cloud. But, they didn't.

American tech comes from the factory compromised. In those cases in which it didn't the NSA has actually physically intercepted shipments to install surveillance software.
If you want security you simply cannot buy and use it.

The September 2014 document also notes that iOS 8 includes an "Always-on VPN" feature, which "eliminates the need for users to turn on VPN to enable protection when connecting to Wi-Fi networks."
It also mentions that when an iOS 8 device is not associated with a Wi-Fi network, and the processor is asleep, the device uses a randomized Media Access Control address.
"Because a device’s MAC address now changes when it’s not connected to a network, it can’t be used to persistently track a device by passive observers of Wi-Fi traffic," the document also states.

The real reason Apple is going to randomize the MAC address is not so much to protect the privacy of their users as it is to make life difficult for competitors of iBeacon. They don't want to prevent the tracking of their users. They just want to get the money for doing the tracking.
