<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -- Security President Barack Obama is not allowed to use an iPhone because since his security correspondents from the NSA have claimed it is not secure enough.

The President states “I am not allowed, for security reasons, to have an iPhone,” During a speech for his healthcare law at the White House, he opened up, and claimed "he was forced to be behind the curve in technology adoption." Although both his daughters, Sasha and Malia, however, do have iPhones, and “seem to spend a lot of time” using them, he said.

Obama is the first president in US history to use email services. He battled and fought for the right to receive a phone with the NSA in 2009 They backed down and later on allowed Barack to keep a BlackBerry, Even though he was victorious, he is allegedly restricted to communicating with just 10 people.

While iPhones have become increasingly popular amongst the population, they have also been bolstered in security, they have still yet to convince the various U.S. secret services for use by White House staff, meaning that for the time being, the president as well as his staff are restricted from using Apple smartphones.

There were concerns that foreign spies would be able to eavesdrop on his phone, such as the spying incident on Germany´s Chancellor Angela Merkels BlackBerry Phone. (http://www.imore.com/obama-says-he-cant-use-iphone-because-security)

Despite not being allowed an iPhone, Obama does have an iPad 2, which was personally given to him by Steve Jobs before the device was released to the public in 2011.
