If you read my link you would see that the fbi,cia, and nsa have "exploits" that they can be used to gain (root)access to iphones,android phones, samsung tvs etc. [hello george orwell]

I can't believe for a second that the government can merely send a magic packet to an iphone and have it exploited as it does. It must a built in backdoor they can only access or else alot of other people would have it as well.

Essentially everything in that list affects old versions of iOS…

Are you seriously doubting they still don't have that type of access?

picks up magic eight ball "Will there be another leak of exploits for the latest version of ios in the next year" Shakes magic eight and revealing the answer to be "ARE YOU DAFT! YES!!!" "The magic eight has spoken"

putting aside hubris, take a look through eff.org and see for yourself. If you care enough about privacy and the future, take a look at fightforthefuture.org to see which candidates are funding these programs and the ones who are actively fighting the surveillance state.
