@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.

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online iOS is closed source, so nobody will ever find any backdoors in the software, even if the hardware offers to implement a high level of security. Do I miss anything?
