Default Apple asked to kill off its aging mobile technology

Security problem waiting to happen

Fruity cargo cult Apple has been insisting that its phones operating ancient technology and now the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is begging it to stop.

2G around the world has either been phased out or is in the process of being phased out, especially as more carriers around the world are transitioning to 5G.

However, Apple is hanging on to the technology for grim death, even though most 2G networks have been shut down.

The problem creates a security issue. 2G is insecure and can actually be spoofed by hackers, meaning that devices connected to it or tricked into connecting to it could have their calls and messages intercepted.
