"...while phones have been a part of Whitehouse communications for centuries..." Centuries? One century ago it was 1924. Two centuries ago it was 1824. On 7 March 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone.

The first phone installed in the White House was by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877. Technically, 19th century to 21st century is considered centuries even if it has not been 200 years. Honestly, I was surprised the first phone in the White House was installed in 1877. I figured it would have been closer to 1900. Go figure.

[@staninjapan07]

@@mrwesley8926 What surprises me is how accustomed to the current level of technology we have become. I am acutely aware that our current (electronic) technologies are a very, very new thing indeed when measured over the span of recorded history / the existence of anatomically modern humans. Most people are at least nominally aware of that, too, but the degree to which some people would now be hamstrung if they lost their "telephone" (pocket computer, really) is shocking. I don't happen to own/want a smartphone, as I don't like them, but without my computer or (flip-phone) mobile phone... and I was 20 years old by the time "modern" (386) computers were in schools, so for the entirety of my childhood there was no such thing as always-connected.

[@mrwesley8926]

@@staninjapan07 I hear you there. BASIC on the Commodore 64 was my first programming language followed by PASCAL while in high school and Debug in trade school. On a funny note, I did ask my instructor what happens when we hit the year 2000 and the date flip happens (this was in '93). His reply was "They'll have it figured out by then." We see how that all worked out. Personally, I don't like Boeing's idea of the Prez having an exploding phone. Imagine if someone were to convince (pay, blackmail, coerce through religious zealotry, etc) an aid to RAT the phone then the individual sends a trigger to the phone while it is in the vicinity or being used by the Prez. If I were Prez I personally would keep anything that can go boom well away from me.

Shouldn't the White House, Air Force One/Two etc..., Presidential Limousine, etc... all have their own "encrypted mobile cellular towers and Wi-Fi system" so that ONLY the President's cell phone can communicate on it? In other words, if the President is attending a Little League baseball game in Kansas City, Missouri, shouldn't his limousine and entourage have mobile cellular vans present which encrypt his cell phone's communications before relaying them to the main cellular network? I mean, let's face it. FDR and Truman had the SIGSALY network so they could talk to Winston Churchill. And that was in the 1940s. You'd think in 2024 someone could find a way to make sure the President of the United States' communications couldn't be intercepted!

[@dragonhero14]

The reality to this question is interesting. Simply put, it is likely that the phone are not even using mobile towers. They could be using an in house, end to end encrypted side loaded app to make calls via an internet connection that could be secured and mobile. Also just because the President is currently using an i Phone doesn't mean it's running standard iOS. The White House and executive branch has requested companies make special items for the sole use of the president. Some are made public, most are not. Many people like to think about this, but the main reason why is due to things like the Freedom of Information Act. Most countries in the world aren't able to inquiry things like this. I find it a bit odd how people receive a ton of information leaders in the US, but still want more... even to the point of hurting themselves and many others.
