So is it a choice between getting spied on by the Chinese government or my own government?

Which phone does the US government recommend I buy?



Buy American.

Buy iPhone.

Made in China*.


Hardly any of the iPhone is made in China. Taiwan is not China. The same is true about Samsung phones, they've almost entirely eliminated China from their manufacturing process. Three times as many Samsung phones are made in Vietnam as in China at this point. Before another five or six years out, barely any non-domestic smartphones will be made in China.


It might be just about money... more money stays in the US if you buy from Apple


I'd separate jurisdiction from information.
