As long as your phone is unable to connect to a cell tower/rogue femtocell/etc. you should be fine. The backdoor that was found is in the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), which governs communications between the Phone app and the radio. Wifi/bluetooth aren't managed by the RIL.
I don't know why my comment is marked as "troll". I was just pointing out why they could impose an *import* ban on a device produced by an American-based company.
Samsung just needed to make small adjustments and has updated their models to provide models that don't violate the patents, the ban is on slightly older models that did violate the patents. Apple's ban was much wider and didn't have any small workaround and would have destroyed their market.
But that doesn't make sense. Samsung commits relatively minor patent infringements, and the import ban stands. Apple commits major patent infringements that result in a much more severe ban and the ban is vetoed.
The reason there was an import ban on the iPhone is because it is manufactured in China. Apple may be headquartered in American but they don't make their phones there.

As in "How Do You Back Up 20TB of Data?" "Backup" is a noun. Verb conjugations are "back up", "backs up", "backed up", etc.
Yeah, FUCK BETA! ...wait.
So they built a theremin. Whoopdie-doo.
FUCK PETA! ...Wait, what are we angry about, again?
The Atari now is Atari in name only. The name has been owned by several different companies in the past couple decades.
Sounds like a good way to drive privatized space travel to another country.
I normally don't do this, but, "Woosh!"
Out of mod points, but I agree entirely.

The person being tracked in the stores is NOT the customer. The customers are the advertising companies buying this information from Google.
No, just the Mormons.
Wait, are you talking about Nintendo or the United States?
Should we provide a definition for every colloquialism we use?

Apple is an American company, but the iPhone is manufactured in China. Hence the import ban.
Just more evidence of China's influence over the American economy.
