The point is you can't trust anything that:

1) has closed components

2) has known data slurping components

3) has limits on how *YOU* grant permissions

4) has enough value for subtle flaws in open parts to be engineered

But people do trust phones, and really should not. Maybe it is best to use the one with the least on-going cooperation with your own government and/or corporate interests as the least likely to screw you over outside of actual espionage?
