If only there was a viable competitor phone. The choice is iPhone or some flavour of Android. Even if Android had E2E encrypted backups, it leaks is so many other unpleasant ways that it's not even a choice. For me it's a vote for less tracking, or at least less invasion. It's not saying it's perfect or even close. There's a ton of things I'd change on iOS if I could. So yeah, I 'vote' Apple because the alternative is a dumb feature phone.

Including an independent third-party security audit. > it leaks is so many other unpleasant ways I recall Android security used to lag behind Apple at the device level, but I'm not sure that's still true with current hardware and OS. Could you educate us on the current state of Android data leaks? For me, my device should have full-disk encryption, sandboxed apps and fine-grained control over app permissions. Both iPhone and Android have that. Intentionally leaving iCloud insecure in the absence of legal compulsion is a sneaky evasion of all the much-ballyhooed device-level security.
