How does the latest Google's hardware compare to the latest Apple's hardware in terms of security? Can Pixel and Pixelbook now be recommended to journalists[1] as reasonable alternatives to iPhone and iPad, or are Apple's products still much better in this regard?

- m3rc 8y agoI'm pretty sure the Pixel 2 had hardware keystore security on par with an iPhone 6/7, which is what that suggests.
- jsjohnst 8y agoGP didn’t ask “hardware keystore” and either way, it’s a false assumption you made. The Titan M is the first comparable chip, based on marketing speak, to Apple’s equivalent. Give it time to see if the marketing speak lives up to technical reality, but my guess at this point is that they’ll be roughly comparable now.
- m3rc 8y agoWhich actual differences exist between the hardware security of a Pixel 2 and an iPhone 7?
- bitmapbrother 8y agoThe Pixel phones have been unhackable at Pwn2own events while iPhones fall like flies in the hands of the Chinese groups.
- snowwrestler 8y agoNo one even bothered to attack the Pixel at last year's Mobile Pwn2Own.
