I think that BlackBerry is an important company to acquire. When they tried to make smartphones, they killed their brand. Friends of mine who got that Storm or whatever it was called in 2010 constantly had to go back to the store and replace it due to faults and crashes. But their software and reputation for security is a major thing. Obama is forced to use a BlackBerry over an iPhone due to security concerns. Apple should buy it to squash everyone else

Apple doesnt have Blackberry level of encryption fam. Not even close.

This is the part where you point out where I said it did.

While you are at it explain to me why I would use 256-bit AES over 128-bit AES given the current state of computing looking forward provided Moore's law holds up. It's a trick question so you might need to use the Google unless you actually know about applying cryptographic solutions, in which case I tip my hat.

My original point stands, iOS 8 offers end to end encryption that even Apple can't access. I am sure there are people looking to find holes in it since it is newer but Apple seems very serious about this path they are on and will plug them if found.

Lastly, if you have time, enlighten me what does “not even close" mean in regards to their encryption implementations. Seems kind of nebulous, I’m not getting a clear picture.

I would love for BB to make a comeback.

Samsung is only buying BB for their patents
BB Is a dead company so they should just take the money at this point. BTW wasn't Nokia sold for like 3.5billion? Shame how badly that company when down after getting infiltrated
