[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3834526, member: 27098"] Let me think about it, no. First off, information on your phone is not only visible to you. Apple for example has access to your files and have started "looking" at them for all intensive purposes. Android it goes without saying, so at a minimum Apple and or Google would have access to any info you put on your phone. Next is the app itself. Who develops it? Most free apps gather all sorts of information from you whether or not Apple or Google says it's "safe." So, what info would it have? Whatever you put into it plus location within 3 meters. Does the app grab telephone numbers? Does it take images? does it access your photo's and files? Apps need to be monetized somehow, and .99 cent purchase just doesn't cover it. Remember, we are living in the world of "1984." Orwell however never envisioned the TV, mic and camera to be in our pockets and hands nor did he ever dream of all the data and information that device is capable of gathering. 5G is not just fast, 4G and 4GLTE believe it or not is just as fast. The difference is 5G can handle many more data streams. Personally I have been leaving my phone at home more and more when possible. [/QUOTE]
