Then don't buy an iPhone. Simple. You and the other dozen people on the planet will surely be missed.

The rest of us absolutely want Apple to be as aggressive about security/privacy as they possibly can be. Especially with even moderate countries e.g. UK, Australia being equally aggressive about invading privacy.

When people visit countries and come back finding screws on their laptops removed, they don't need to be "fanboya" to want more security.
