The Government's security advisors have told Coalition MPs that they it's not a good idea for them to use iPhones when sending sensitive official communications.
4 million Brits use the iPhone, and many ministers are known fans, but Whitehall's security experts say the touch-screen devices are vulnerable to hacking; Apple denies this.
As an alternative, staff have been advised to use Blackberrys or other approved phones.
