Doesn't help to know that The NSA Has Inserted Its Code Into Android OS, Or Three Quarters Of All Smartphones running Google's Android operating system.

You make it seem like Apple's iOS is perfectly safe and free of government snooping.

[disclaimer]

Nay, good man, Apple has the dubious reputation of secretly tracking user locations (Apple sued over location tracking in iOS - CNET).

I can appreciate Apple Inc's history, and admire Google as a driving market force, but I am weary of any entity collecting information to profile us including power company use of 'smart' meters. Benign now, but possibly politicized later.
