and about my mac book air


the malicious code is launching during the boot process


my apps are lagging


when i launch a video game it is lagging a lot even if its a cheap 3D game


back in the day i had a kind of airplay / terminal server launched directly from the start


and a keylogger even when my hard drive was erased during the reinstall


a unknown user appears on my mac book


my user password doesnt work randomly


there is so many things


to make that simple my devices are like a remote desktop but i'm the remote user on my own devices with no real administrator privileges


the hacker can do anything i can just watch

Yes, iPhones take a while to start up. There's nothing especially unusual about that.


an update take a very long time to do the job and my cpu is overheating too

Is this on your computer? What sort of update? An update to macOS? They also take a while. How long is a "very long time"?


but when i was using a radio frequency detector i saw that my iphone was transmitting when it was supposed to be off

with the lcd screen off....

The screen being off doesn't mean the phone is off. Even when the screen is dark, the phone is still doing things in the background, including, periodically, telling the cellular network where it is.



my apps are crashing when i use specific apps to check what processes are running in my back....

Is this on your phone? Or your computer? What are the apps?



so these apps are launching but without showing the menu of the specific processes.... they appears on the other smartphones but not one mine....

I have no idea what this means. Can you state it in a different way? What apps? What other smartphones?



a vpn works only 10 seconds.... so my connections are filtered in real time .... deep pack inspection....

What troubleshooting have you done? Again, we're not going to talk about why you think this is happening right now.


when i use LTE or wifi i have the same problem


The same problem as what?


my LTE is throttling or jammed

Contact your carrier and discuss your plan with them. You may be bumping up against data limits on your plan. Many carriers throttle after you've reached a certain usage level in a month.


i'm kicked from the gsm antenna when i try to log again to the antenna it works few seconds then kick out again .....


i'm connected to a mobile phone antenna (not mine / imsi catcher) and my battery is draining my cpu is overheating

What do you mean by "gsm antenna"? Do you mean a cell tower? How is this mobile phone antenna not yours? You mention CPU so are you talking about your computer?


my research on the apple store are modificated / they are not the same from another hotspot

This doesn't make sense. What research? What is not the same? Are you saying you get different results depending on the device your using? Do you mean the App Store? Or the Apple Online Store? If you mean the App Store, you'll see different things depending on whether your searching from an iPhone or an iPad.


my sms are coming with delays or not coming at all

SMS (green messages) is a carrier feature. You will need to contact your carrier and troubleshoot with them. Based on what you said above about your LTE, it definitely sounds as if you have issues with your cellular service.

The same problem as what? VPN IS CUT OFF WHEN I TRY TO CONNECT TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB

Yes a cell tower or a mobile tower IMSI CATCHER


CPU MEAN CPU

ARM CPU ON IPHONE and INTEL CPU ON MAC BOOK AIR

IF I make a research on google for example


i'm looking for an english research google will answer me in french

you are wasting your time someone is hacking my devices not someone many people and around my home and on the road too it is why it is in real time when i'm at home and with some delays when i 'm on the road


my sms are coming with delays or not coming at all

NO it is intercepted directly from the cell tower or imsi catcher


ANY state can do that easily even some rogue policemen or military

You're correct. I'm wasting my time because you have an idée fixe about hacking and aren't willing to listen to any other possibilities.


No matter how many links you post (which I do not intend to read), the likelihood that your phone has been compromised (unless you have jailbroken it) remains so small as to not even make the top ten list of things that could be wrong with your phone.
