A few days ago, John McAfee, the founder of McAfee said that he’s working on a phone called the Privacy Phone, which would be the “world’s first truly private phone.” He believes that irrespective of how secure apps become and that “they must still execute an environment designed from ground to be a spy device.” He said that the phone would have physical switches on the back to turn of antennas, WiFi, geolocation, camera and more. These switches could also be used to bar the device from connecting to IMSI catchers.
