From the angle that they're made in China or that it's an American company with a camera and mic on every person.

Not so worried about apple tech being manufactured in China (at least from a 'China stealing our data' security standpoint). Apple have everything in their products determined down to the nanometer. If there is anything in there that ain't meant to be in there, it'll be noticed.

Other manufactured products I could see how something could slip in unnoticed.

You probably think too highly of Apple products.

Pretty much every smartphone except for Samsung, Sony and Asus should be banned.

More like there just needs to effective legislation passed that curbs data collection and surveillance. They all do it because it is legal and very profitable. The only difference between Huawei and Samsung is who is doing the collecting. Governments and companies get too much value out of the collection though, so it will likely never be regulated.

I think the whole thing is pretty ridiculous. I can hear the criminal master minds now, "I'm going to hide secret transmission tech inside these cameras that say Made in China on them. No one will ever think to look there".
