By I got these earbuds a couple of months ago, and I have worn them since. They are amazing for the price, and they work for me. A little bit of a learning curve, but once I figured out how to adjust them, it really wasn’t that hard.
I like the idea of wireless earbuds, but I can’t help but question the value of the company that made them. A wireless earbud is just a battery that plugs into the ear canal and then you plug in your phone. For $20, that is nothing more than a battery. I have found that I still need to plug the earbuds into a power outlet to charge them.
What about security? I would have guessed that a lot of “security” people think that their iPhones are secure, but it just doesn’t seem to work at all. They have to be able to detect if their cell phone has been hacked, and that’s a massive task, so they only have one thing they can do. So if they are hacked, then the security doesn’t work, and it’s probably something to do with the hardware or the software that they are using.
I would like to say that this is completely an Apple problem, and not a problem on the part of my iPhone, but it’s not. The problem is that you dont find many security flaws in iOS. The reason is that iOS works with every cell phone, and every major phone security program. The iPhone is an exception because Apple has to develop its own security for the iPhone, and it has to do this in a way that complies with the Apple security program.
My guess is that this is just yet another attempt to get Apple to drop support for iPhone security. Apple has always been very good about not pushing any security holes in their phones, and the fact that they’ve now done it again indicates that they think their phones are too important to their business.
When you think of security, you think of a level of security only a corporation with the sole purpose of a security program can provide. Apple is obviously not a corporation, so they can’t provide the level of security that a corporation can. Apple has tried to push this security program for years and has yet to be successful. If they had gone with the security program Apple built for the Mac, they would have gotten their phone through.
Apple’s security solution for iPhones is to build an incredibly secure computer which can only be used by the very few who really need to have their phone in their pocket. There is also a new “iPod“ with a built-in security system. It’s just a dumb computer.
Now that Apple has been able to push their security program onto people, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to push this software onto their phones. Apple has a patent protecting the security system and has been very secretive about it, but now that the rest of the world has been able to see the proof Apple has been using their security software, there should be a lot of people trying to get their phones to work this way.
There have already been some people doing this, so it shouldn’t be hard to do, but it is. Apple’s’security’ software seems to be based on a form of encryption known as public key cryptography. If you look at their software, it looks like they have a way of encrypting your earbuds, and when you put your phone in the earbud, the earbuds will automatically encrypt themselves.
All of this is, of course, actually a bit of a conspiracy. It is a good thing that we should learn to be a part of this sort of conspiracy by learning the art of earbuds. By this, we mean that we are all ears, with no idea what we have in common.
