It’s not because iPhones are safer…
It’s because Israel can unlock any iPhone:

That article is from six years ago and states Cellebrite can unlock high-end Android phones. Since then, Apple has shipped iOS updates to secure against Cellebrite, while the only similarly secure Android phones are Pixels running GrapheneOS and Samsungs with KNOX, all in a perpetual chase.

So when the US government needed in a trump shooters iPhone…
They gave it to Israel, and Israel gave it back unlocked…
What did they do? Guess the pass code?

Your comments are embarrassing for you. Go get informed on mobile security. Cellebrite is well known for providing governments with tools to hack mobile OSes. Posting an article from 6 years ago shows how ill-informed you are on the topic. At least go find the most up to date information. It gets leaked periodically. Last I can find for iOS is Cellebrite can’t hack iPhones running the latest OS. It can hack Androids, unless they are using GrapheneOS.
As someone in tech myself, I’d rather have an iPhone than the average Android phone from a security perspective. If you really care about security and are willing to make some trade offs, use GrapheneOS.

Your comment is embarrassing you.
Read the actual article, not the second hand one linked:
It’s not due to security, it’s due to social engineering. The user will always be the weakest link.
The real article is linked in this second hand one. archive.is/Y7iCJ>>
