    Their security concern is that iPhones won’t let a third party app take control of phone capabilities at a very low level. They want to use an in-house app to stop people from recording audio or video based I assume from the article on geofencing.

    The way you’d do that with iPhones is most likely through mdm.

    It’s not that iPhones aren’t secure, it’s that the rok military can’t control them with its spyware.

    Reading between the lines, it’s not like no one knows that. It’s a good opportunity to gently suggest people working in high security positions (who make higher grade salaries on average!) ditch their iPhones for Samsung models. No need to run a mdm shop and you juice a national company.

      How is MDM not classified as spyware when the military wants to have the same or deeper level of control?

      Well, it makes sense, doesn’t it? Relying on closed source stuff from other nations, especially nations known for spying (after Snowden there’s no denying that), isn’t exactly secure.
