I did hear they did encrypt by default on the Nexus 6. Unfortunately, it seriously affected performance and was then turned off. I guess this may be due not having a fast hardware encryption path to and from the flash memory. iOS encrypts, even if you don't set a passphrase or something and their security white paper does mention having dedicated hardware to make it seamless.

I believe a later software update for the Nexus 6 sped up encryption considerably.

  How do I check if encryption is turned on for a Nexus 6?

    If an Android device has encrypted storage, it has to ask you for the decryption password before it will boot (ie BEFORE you get to a lock screen). If it doesn't, then it's not encrypted.
