Thank you one and all for your comments and advice. Seeing as i'm an old ****er i've decided to stick with what I know, i'm too bloody old now to start trying to learn new technology. I just thought I-phone would be simpler but that reasoning just shows ya how **** a techy I am Thank ya all once again, your replies where greatly appreciated.
I just can’t use an Android, I find it impossible. That said, I would consider a change if these data rules are correct and Apple have had enough of my money!
This is only to access information in a criminal investigation and still would require a court issued warrant and Apple have refused it anyway. The same situation applies to all phones, MI5 are obviously not only going to go after terrorists that happen to have an iPhone.
Yeah I like Pixel and will go with the 9a next . Motorola seem to get good reviews and are a really good price .
I’ve had an iPhone for years, started on 4. I’d been using my Mrs’s Android when I needed to use the internet, so when I got an iPhone it took some getting used to, now it’s easy & simple, so smooth & if someone gives me their android to use, I have no idea. Also my current iPhone has 1tb of memory, not sure if there’s anything else on the market with that, so if it’s needed, it’s great.
Let’s face it, I think if they really wanted to see what was on phones, they could anyway, regardless of a court warrant. The problem is as with everything else, not enough manpower to chase after it.
I just bought a 9a the other day. £14.99 / mth contract with 500GB data. Good value and phone is decent. I was offered an iPhone 14 a year or so back for free, but gave it back after a day. The launcher is absolute garbage. I understand its popularity as it's technology designed and built for dummies so is easy to use and its quite slick. Not for me though. Not even for free. Edit: Kid loves their iPad though. Good value for performance conpared to Android tablets.
This exactly for me, if I’m trying to get a customer to send me documents from their android it’s usually a nightmare. iPhones are so user friendly for me.
i believe it's worse than that. apple actually can't. which is good for security but bad for people who want to see what's in the file. the data is encrypted and cannot be decrypted without data keys which apple does not have and has no way of finding, unless (a) they torture whoever encoded the file or (b) they spend several zillion years going through all possibible pairs of numbers. the uk government wants to be able to see future files encrypted by apple software. any decent cryptographic method should 100% prevent any attempt to access whatever it has encrypted. the uk government is displaying astonishing and f***ing stupid mathematical idiocy of the kind even the school's most ******ed spanner would have gawped at. the problem is the absurd supposition that encryption methods have some sort of "back door" access method. as a rule, they don't, unless you call factorisation of the product of two huge prime numbers a back door method. it isn't, unless it really turns out that quantum computers can factorise such a number in the snap of a finger rather than the eternity existing computers would take. so, in fact, the uk government in all its ******ed braindead stupidity is asking apple to stop using sound encryption and to invent a new method with a back door that will be totally crap and unsecure and for which apple can provide to the goverment ways to see the data and very likely allow any hacker with more than three brain cells to work out how see the data. any decent programmer with mathematical knowledge could write an encryption method that would be all but uncrackable, but the uk government, containing people of such miniscule intellectual ability that the term "halfwit" would be a compliment, wants encryption to be weakened by many orders of magnitude. and that isn't good, but also isn't surprising. it would be karma if weakened encryption allowed the theft of the entire famly fortunes of the f***wit government fools involved in this farce. and i would laugh and laugh and laugh.
It must come down to what we are au fait with as I have no problem sending documents (or photos or whatever) from my android (phone or tablet)!. Problems I encounter are related to figuring out how the heck to do something on Apple products.
