I have long celebrated technological innovation that empowers users rather than endangers them. Yet the launch of the iPhone 17e forces a stark reckoning. This device does not merely represent another incremental upgrade in camera resolution or battery life. It embeds Israeli-developed technology deep into the hardware that billions carry in their pockets every day. Given israel’s recent civilian-targeted pager attack that killed dozens of people, including children & other innocent bystanders, I think it’s safe to say that if most people knew that israel had any involvement in these new iPhones, no one would buy them.
