Donald Trump shuns iPhone security because it's 'inconvenient', reports say

US president reportedly resisted White House security checks for Twitter phone for 'as long as five months'

Donald Trump is reportedly shunning security advice by using at least two iPhones, refusing to allow some of them to be screened for hacking attempts because it is "too inconvenient".

The US president, who has not used email while in office, has one iPhone capable only of making calls and another that is used as his Twitter phone, with access to a series of news sites and the social network, according to White House officials talking to Politico.
