Edward Snowden"Edward Snowden never uses an iPhone, he has a simple phone," his lawyer told Ria Novosti. Edward Snowden Anatoly Kutserena. "The iPhone has special software, which can activate itself without pressing some button, and collects information about it. So he refuses to use this phone for security reasons," Kucerena said according to the Sputnik News, την αγγλόφωνη υπηρεσία του Ria Novosti.Μετά τις αποκαλύψεις που έκανε το 2013 ο Snowden για το πρόγραμμα μαζικής παρακολούθησης από την αμερικανική υπηρεσία NSA και τη βρετανική GCHQ, η Apple και άλλοι γίγαντες του διαδικτύου, όπως η and Facebook, denied that they were actively cooperating. They even asked the US government to change the law on the collection of personal data.

In addition, Apple has enhanced the security of its devices and even supports the new version of its operating system, iOS 8, impossible decrypting user data by law enforcement authorities, even if they have a search warrant.

However, an NSA document dating back to 2010 has recently become public reveals that the British GCHQ was monitoring iPhone users through their unique UDIDs. Apple has abandoned the UDID system 2013.

Documents that Snowden has uncovered so far do not contain reports of hidden spyware on iPhone, but there is still a lot of material that is believed to have not been published so far.

Snowden remains in the US for a series of charges such as spying and stealing government papers. From 2013 he lives with his girlfriend in Moscow who gave him asylum and a three-year residence permit.
