Despite being the most powerful man in the world, President Barack
Obama is not allowed to use an iPhone because his security advisers have
claimed it is not secure enough.
“I am not allowed, for security reasons, to have an iPhone,” Obama
quipped during a pitch for his healthcare law at the White House,
intimating that he was forced to be behind the curve in technology
adoption.
His daughters, Sasha and Malia, however, do have iPhones, and “seem to spend a lot of time” using them, he said.
The iPhone is insecure
Obama famously became the first president in US history to use email and battled with the NSA in 2009
to allow him to keep a BlackBerry, a fight he eventually won although
it is allegedly restricted to communicating with just 10 people.
Apple’s iPhone has yet to be certified as secure for government and
military use by White House staff, meaning that the president and his
staff are restricted from using Apple’s smartphone.
Despite not being allowed an iPhone, Obama does have an iPad 2, which was personally given to him by Steve Jobs before the device was released to the public in 2011.
