I was planning to ditch my android for iPhone but reports like this make me worried.
Can we have a reasonable discussion without fanboy ism about what is the most secure phone right now?

- BuildTheRobots 9y agoI think it's impossible to talk about "most secure" with out being more clear who you're trying to protect against. Rogue apps, hackers, law enforcement and state actors are 4 different attack vectors that jump to mind that all have different mitigations. We'd also have to talk about how usable you expect the phone to be afterwards; for example if to make it secure we have to disable wifi, mobile-data and apps, is there any point in having a smart phone in the first place?
- jlgaddis 9y agoI, personally, am much more comfortable using an iPhone than any other mobile phone. I have very little trust in Android phones, especially one that has > 0 apps from the Play store installed. (I'd still be using a Blackberry if they had any decent offerings, however.)
