During the revolution, could Apple block or tamper with all iphones such that revolutionaries cannot communicate? (lemmygrad.ml)

Familiar with the first one. Of course they can put anything they want in an update (see iOS 15 CSAM concerns, and restricting setting AirDrop to everyone for only 10 minutes).

I’m not really sure what you and that source is implying by “remote deleting apps”. What you really should do is turn off the “offloading apps to save space” feature if you’re concerned about Apple pulling an app from the App Store, as that has happened, and back up your IPA files so you can reinstall them if you needed to.

The last one is fair, you’re right that they could just trigger Activation Lock on all iPhones just for funsies and not accept your password to reactivate

Also this is in the context of communist trying to organize using iPhones. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple had a partnership set up where they secretly were able to target in manipulate phones. As of right now in the United States and a good portion of the world, there are open source operating systems that you can run on open bootlaters and keep most, if not all, remote interference off your phone. Just my thoughts.
