AUTÒPSIES

My phone has:

– 1 front camera
– 1 rear camera
– 1 microphone
– 14 sensors (including motion, temperature, brightness and proximity)
– At least 4 independent geolocation systems
– 1 SIM card that sends signals to all the nearest antennas to get coverage
– 1 GPS receiver that communicates with satellites to calculate its position
– 1 Wi-Fi antenna that constantly scans for networks to connect to and shows all the ones it has already connected to
– 1 Bluetooth antenna scanning for new ports to establish a network

The 45 apps I’ve downloaded record my every move, even when I specifically turn off the tracking feature.

In 2020, 253 million Samsung phones, 200 million Apple phones and 182 million Huawei phones were sold.

The idea is to perform an autopsy on these devices to see and show what they are like inside, look for evidence of control, and understand their operation, functionality and even their history.

Know your enemy.
