@globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online @plumeros@swiss.social iPhones are far more secure than anything running LineageOS, iodéOS or /e/. An iPhone 17 provides much stronger protections than past generations due to hardware memory tagging which was only previously deployed in production for a lot of code by GrapheneOS (more than iOS). iPhones can be configured to have a higher level of security than they do by default via lockdown mode and other features. End result is definitely far better than any non-GrapheneOS option.

@globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online @plumeros@swiss.social Pixels and iPhones are the only devices with high quality secure elements providing working disk encryption with a random 6 digit PIN or other typical lock method rather than 6 -8 random diceware words. This matters a lot to many people even if they don't realize it. Other Android devices either omit a secure element providing this or have a much lower quality implementation which gets bypassed by commercial exploit tools in practice. That's just one example.
