South Korean Military Could Soon Ban iPhones. Here's Why | Vantage With Palki Sharma

South Korea’s military is contemplating a ban on iPhones within military buildings due to mounting concerns about potential leaks of sensitive information through voice recordings. At the centre of this, is a military app that restricts the functions of a phone like camera and voice recordings. Apple's strict privacy controls prevent the app from restricting the iPhone's functions which has raised questions of a ban. Interestingly, while iPhones could be explicitly banned, Android-based devices manufactured by Samsung, are exempt from the ban. Also, restrictions on smart devices in secure facilities are standard practice, implementing a total ban is less common. Can Apple prevent this ban? Palki Sharma tells you.

I banned my family from buying iphones because we can't afford them 😂
-
They are playing the US ban games 😂😂😂 This will boost Samsung sale in South Korea.
-
Its reasonable when a military of a country want controable security
-
I used to only buy APPLE but I’m sick of APPLE now. There is no innovation just a name and brand. Few details. Overpriced
-
Seriously im still surprised if people still do buy iphone given the Specs/Price point compared to other brands.

Samsung: don’t say my name!
-
They're starting to wake up now.

India should ban iPhones, nowadays people are selling organs to buy iphones. 😂😂

2024 mark the year of Apple long decline. In China, 33% drop in sales.

Korean military is learning from Ukraine-Russia War and doing what is necessary. Remember in the beginning so many Russian soldiers got killed by intercepted cellphone signals revealing their locations? And social media videos they posted also gave big hint about their location and got them killed. So Korean military now require soldiers to install the app to prevent any leaks either by an accident or on purpose, but Apple app store is not very cooperative. That's all.

No more iPhones for me. Tried the iPhone 12 as an Android user and absolutely hated it, so no more of that constricted cell phone for me.

iPhone sales drops due to over price not of security concerns😂😂😂... Latest iPhone models are not for middle n lower classes families..

I know why iphones sales are plummeting...coz they are still selling iphone 15 @60 hz while their phones cost no less than any premium phones.... customers are not fools...they can't play this gimmick any longer
-
US refuses to give up the power to command South Korean military despite the initial agreement having expired in 1991 and forced a revision on South Korea
-
They sensed this already and shutdown their Apple car to navigate through this tough trend
-
Israel government had invented a special spyware specifically for iphones and many governments officials around the world using that phones were being eavesdropped. 😂
-
The reality of the iPhone declines because it sucks for ages.
-
I hear hear that the Saudi army, Indian army, Polish army, Italian army, Spanish army, and others are reconsidering the iphones too.
-
This is only a ban in the military. It’s not being banned from the country.
