As long as they need a warrant from a Judge, how is that different that a physical search of any other records?

We don't need no stinkin' warrant.

To do this requires the manufacturer to put a back door into the OS. Once that happens it won't just be the government getting into your device records easily.

Besides, a judge can compel you to turn the data over unencrypted with penalties for not doing so.

Finally, terrorists like the League of Woman Voters, Sierra Club and Girl Scouts of America and all the other counter-Trump cultists can be exposed for the criminally insane agents of pure evil they are and wiped off the face of the earth, exactly as the Founding Fathers commanded.

Yep.

I believe it is well within the police rights if they are already lawfully conducting a search warrant and you digital information will help their case or is crucial to their case.
That being said, it's well within your right to have an encryption they can't crack. Make your own or use a third party you trust.
I don't believe Android and Apple have the right to refuse Law Enforcement's help for access to people's data, that they need to investigate. The Phone companies should never be in the position to protect potential Violent deadly criminals, anarchists, and terrorists.
But understand, there should be well established guidelines for when these data rights issues warrant these actions. You local government shouldn't have access for it over Civil affairs, or no law enforcement should get the right for misdemeanor crimes, I don't believe your employer has the right to it, unless there's a crime involved. Then it's the police that get the data not the company.

I predict a huge decoupling from Smart phones in the coming Deglobalization in the coming post Covid world fallout against China.

Make your own

Exactly what I was thinking. It's not that hard. That is, if only you can keep them off of your device while you are using it.

Hopefully the tech companies will move against this. If American companies have to have backdoors for our government to snoop on people, but Huawei doesn't; you can guess whose product those businesses/governments in other countries are going to go with. It's like giving a huge advantage to China.

The founders clearly implied that the 4th amendment only applies to law abiding property owning white males over the age of 25 and therefore is no longer applicable in a modern multicultural Marxist society.
