Posted: 06 Apr 2020 06:03 AM PDT

It's far from your typical problem, for sure and likely one not even on any risk analysis and mitigation chart within the UK. Misinformation and social media posts linking the spread of COVID-19 and 5G deployment have been spreading within the country and have already resulted in both network infrastructure damage and abuse towards workers.

The iPhone SE, previously known as iPhone 9 is Apple's upcoming new iPhone, which was supposed to arrive in March but was pushed back due to the current pandemic and is now allegedly coming on April 15.
