The speaker says they use an iPhone, claiming “everybody I know” and “everybody at the CIA” uses an iPhone. They explain that when iPhones were unusual and hard to find, they used Android phones, and that all staff were assigned Androids; they also mention that they were originally assigned Nextels, described as walkie-talkie devices. The speaker recounts taking a Nextel to Bulgaria, where it beeped all night and people tried to send walkie-talkie-style messages, leading them to turn it in.
They say the group transitioned to iPhones because Android phones are “so hard to crack,” and they advise against using Android devices. The speaker associates the risk with “the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, the Cubans,” and “most importantly, the Israelis,” and urges not to “do an android.” They then broaden the point beyond phone choice, suggesting people should consider what other aspects of life expose their secrets. They conclude by recommending that people assume “these bad guys are everywhere,” since, they say, they actually are everywhere.
The speaker’s key takeaway is to make stealing personal secrets as hard as possible, and they close with a directive: “number one on your things to do today list, drop that android,” repeating “drop that Android.”
