President Obama’s New Smartphone Is More Like a Toddler Phone

After he got the phone, the president was told "this is a great phone, state of the art, but it doesn’t take pictures, you can’t text, the phone doesn’t work, you can’t play your music on it," Obama said, laughing along with Fallon. "So basically, it’s like—does your 3-year old have one of those play phones?"


There's a plethora of security reasons why the president can't have all the fun tech at their fingertips. Location GPS and spying being two main ones.
