This is actually shockingly remarkably true.
There is very little to differentiate your addiction to junk food and your addiction to sex or your addiction to crack rock.

It does not actually enforce least privilege everywhere, its application of SELinux is … well it’s better than what targeted policy does, but it’s designed to be unobtrusive not protective. The issue isn’t Android itself, as a concept it’s not awful. The issue is the reality of being a security professional and attempting to secure the edge which in this case is the users and their devices.
From a practical standpoint administering and protecting one device type on a fairly closed OS is significantly easier than one where the hardware landscape is so varied.
If you look critically at what it appears this action (the article, and what I am responding to) is for it is because the USERS being exploited is the threat vector. Android devices have significantly more documented malware out in the wild AS WELL AS many documented and active boot exploits.
My comments have nothing to do with what I like. This isn’t fanaticism. It’s practical reality.
A nation state actor likely doesn’t care what device you use because they can get the data they want elsewhere, your device is just a beacon at that point for where.

Cool. I’m engaging with this thread. If you don’t want your baseless misinformation countered then don’t spout it in public.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
I don’t think
The point being made counter to you is that your feelings don’t negate security research. You’ve already claimed you have no practical knowledge, no experience, all you’ve done is read some stuff but what you linked to refute me was nearly 7 years old information that was lauded back then in the community.
You don’t like apple, that’s apparent. What actual claims do you have beyond you don’t like apple?
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
No, the key difference is I’m speaking from an informed position and you’re making inane claims then attempting to back them up with information that’s wildly outdated and never was factually correct to begin with, then hand waving and wringing about it because you have no actual understanding of what you’re arguing.
You should move on, as this area of focus is how I make a living.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
It’s always fun watching people like you make such hard and fast claims after saying they aren’t being a tribalist.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
My dude this for official use, they ought to already have MDM on official devices. Thats like saying they want them using a specific phone so they can read the email they administer separately.
I think you’re woefully misunderstanding
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
They’re also saying this is only for official use, so they should have access to the devices via MDM.
This doesn’t ban personal devices being Android.
The person who is arguing with me is just on an anti Apple knee jerk
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
Rather than speak from my expertise which will be refuted, go look at what mobile research says.
Watch conference demos, look at cellebrited claims from 2026.
I’m parroting what is known in the wider security community, it just doesn’t conform with what enthusiasts think.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
My dude I’m not interested in attempting to have an informed conversation with someone who isn’t informed.
The sunning Kruger effect isn’t when someone who knows what they’re talking about has to refute baseless claims.
Take care, enjoy your vitriol and contempt. You’ve earned it

Go read what graphene OS has to say about iOS then.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
Company makes claims they are unable to back up in real world scenarios, I have a professional relationship with cellebrite and access to their latest forensics kit they export.
It doesn’t open iPhones.
Occasionally they open iPhones, but we’ve had to send them to cellebrite and we are convinced they’ve found a novel way to break the lockout rather than the actual lock. It’s believed to be a brute force. And I’ve never had it work.
But yes. They claim that, but haven’t backed it up practically.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
I legitimately don’t see the link you’re referring to, I’m not pretending about anything.
Maybe it’s not federating on my end, could you link it?
Cellebrite struggles with iPhones, and some newer Android devices. Is it another company?
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 6 days ago:
What evidence are you referring to?
As far as I can tell my anecdote about my professional experience is the only context here besides the post.

I think you’re doing the tech tribalism thing here whereas I’m talking about actual device security.
I get it’s popular to hate Apple. Cool. You’re cool for hating Apple.
Anyone who is genuinely interested in mobile security ought to read some of the white papers or device analysis’ which are available to the public.
Anyways, cool, hate Apple but for some reason give Google a pass.

I spent quite some time in mobile security and I won’t use an Android device knowing what I know.
