Have you ever thought that in addition to being a small assistant in our daily life, smart phones can also become a hidden danger to information security? No, the South Korean military has recently taught us a lesson. According to the Global Times, citing the Korea Herald, the South Korean military is planning to ban iPhones altogether.

Let's talk about the doorway behind this.

Judging from the source of this wave of bans, why can't we get along with Apple's mobile phone? The key lies in "safety". They worry that these delicate gadgets may accidentally record sensitive information and leak it out without paying attention.

This is a big deal in a military base, and it can affect security in minutes. Think about it, if the intelligence on the battlefield is heard by the enemy, it is not a joke.

Then let's take a look, why is Apple's mobile phone being targeted, and Samsung, which is also a smartphone, can escape? This has to start with the operating system.

Apple's iOS system has strict control over third-party apps, not allowing them to control the phone's recording and other functions at will. This means that if South Korea wants to restrict these features with its own security software, Apple phones will not work so well.

Android, especially Samsung phones, is relatively open and can better cooperate with the military's security management software, restricting features that can pose risks, such as cameras, Wi-Fi, network connections, and so on.

In fact, this cannot be said to be completely unexpected. Back in 2013, the discussion about the security of Apple's mobile phones had already made waves around the world.

At that time, some experts pointed out that some features of Apple's phones could cause privacy or security issues. Now it seems that the South Korean military has seriously learned the lessons of history and decided to attack these potential threats.

From another perspective, this ban also reflects the new challenges of information security in the digital age. With the development of technology, information has become a new weapon on the battlefield. Countries are racking their brains to protect their information security and prevent technological vulnerabilities from becoming vulnerabilities.

This move by the South Korean military is undoubtedly a reminder to other countries that security considerations must be put first in the selection of scientific and technological equipment.

Of course, there is an economic account behind this. Samsung, as a local Korean company, naturally gets a certain preference. While ensuring information security, it can also support domestic brands, why not?

In this way, Samsung's market position within the South Korean military is estimated to be consolidated again.

It can be seen that judging from South Korea's ban on Apple's mobile phones, the security risks behind the digital information age must not be ignored.

As ordinary users, when choosing a mobile phone in the future, should we also pay more attention to see if this mobile phone is really "reliable"?
