Everything the US accuses China of doing, the US is already doing it. Right before Edward Snowden came out, there was all this glee in the US that because Xi Jinping's wife was seen carrying an iPhone that the US can spy on Xi. This was before Chinese smartphones were competition. The US also said they would consider a cyber sabotage attack as an act of war. Then the US used Stuxnet on Iran. Look at artificial intelligence today. All what the West fears about AI they're still going to develop it because China is going to do "it". That's the brainwashing they put out there to get their own people okay with something by claiming others like China are doing or going to do it. These are the very same people who think Chinese are inferior that they doubt China's semiconductor breakthrough yet China is able to do all these others things before them.
PH IS ALL BARK AND NO BITE. LET'S BE REAL NOW. It'll take decades of actual real investments, training, force structure orientation and real economic growth to ensure PH ascent into a credible military threat against any country in ASEAN, let alone against China. Singapore alone has a much more credible military strength than those jai Hind Pinoys
More like a biohazard. All those cum-encrusted socks present a credible threat to basic human hygiene.
Apple is moving out of China already on its own initiative, it is already cutting Chinese jobs, so it should loose Chinese market begining with the state sector, when apple fully moved itself out, it should loose whole Chinese market. Nobody Apple or Samsung can 吃饭砸锅 if you know the Chinese idiom.
You are talking about Qualcomm chip based Chinese smartphones in China. Those are running Chinese OSs which are totally transparent for examination. Apple's iOS is a blackbox which is the risk.
IMO, it is only partially about sucurity. It is a punishment for Apple moving out of China, a retaliation for US banning Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese companies. It is the same punishment of Boeing in the ongoing tech/trade/economy war.
As long as Chinese tourists aren't accused of being spies or the Biden administration has forgotten that it just labeled them spies a week ago.
China dominates on urea and many countries depend on it. China should be able to ramp up the production more after getting more natural gas from imports.

In addition to the other points raised,
1. Zero sum game. If it hurts Apple more than the Chinese suppliers, it's worth considering.
2. If iphones are banned, they need to be replaced with Chinese phones. Those phones will experience increased demand to fill the gap and they will increase their parts orders to the Chinese suppliers that will see their orders reduced to Apple. In the end, same number of phones, same number of parts; the main difference is Apple gets cut out of Chinese money.
Americans... so shameless you can get second-hand embarrassment just reading/listening to them. I can't even imagine requesting favors from someone while starting shit with them on something else.

google services are the only thing that allows this? What about backdoors?
Not to mention all the backdoors the TMIC chips probably have....
It's open source. Government-issued phones can be locked down
