And the FBI can’t get in? I doubt that.

If someone is worried about the FBI I don’t think that putting trust in a US company who’s CEO has very close ties to the current US administration is a wise idea.
I’d be seeking hardware to run an OS like GrapheneOS. Going with iOS in the US seems as wise as someone in China going with Xiaomi if they are trying to go under the radar of China’s Ministry of State Security.

So the hardware made by the other company who’s CEO has very close ties to the current US administration.
Graphene looks promising but restricting it to Pixels kinda kills it for me.Lfrith@lemmy.ca 2 hours ago
Hardware is hardware. Whether it is US, China, etc the most vital component ends up being the OS at the end. It is the OS that you are entrusting the programs and apps being run and the accounts being logged into.

Under Kash Patel, I’d be surprised if the FBI could unlock a Mime’s door, let alone a phone.

Haha, very true. Loyalty over competency.

Even if you turned the phone off? It should be secure on a cold boot before entering the password, as nothing is unencrypted yet.

You know, I have not kept up. Things may have improved recently. But historically there’s always been flaws in the security.

And that is the big reason why you should update. It’s a cat and mouse situation. This is the reason why GrapheneOS offer security previews and encourage you to install them.

GrapheneOS is not the ordinary Android phone.

That is a misnomer. The android’s “lockdown” is equivalent of on an iPhone pressing power button + up button to bring up the power menu which immediately disables biometrics. It only disables biometrics, doesn’t really “hardens” the phone in anyway.
