It’s kinda make sense that the military would want to use homegrown product (in this case, samsung) so they can fully control what’s running. They seem to want a fully locked down device, with wifi, usb, tethering, mic and camera disabled while in premise.

However, Apple does not allow third-party apps to control iPhones’ inherent features, except for the camera.
