I definitely do not trust my phone. But hackers are much more incentivized to hack into the Prime Minister of Israel‘s phone versus some random guy.

The weird thing is that any nation state could technically just order customized camera-less iPhones directly from Apple.

They have millions or even billions of dollars at their disposal, I wonder why don't they just do that.

Yes, they do exist:

but this could lead to a bigger problem if in production it's already known where the phone goes.. for example hiding a seperate software microphone inside?

Yeah Israel would know about that kind of targeted stuff considering the pager bomb stuff they did. So their officials sure as shit aren't going to use anything that wouldn't just as well end up in the hands of random civilians.

It's already known. I won't speak for every level of every government, but among heads of state it's standard to get a custom phone with extra security built-in. Bibi didn't stop into Best Buy
