However, we don’t have a “hardened security” approach, we aren’t developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

Anyone telling you the list isn’t graphene -> ios -> good custom android -> aosp-> google stock -> samsung stock is lying to you.
How is iOS - a proprietary OS owned by a big tech company - second in your list?
It has some of the best exploit protection next to Graphene if you enable lockdown mode.
Which flavor of Google surveillance would you consider a more private and secure phone platform than iOS?
It can be made very good from a security and privacy perspective.
If you know you know I guess.
There’s good reason to suspect that it’s very terrible from its privacy and security perspective.
If you remember you remember I guess.
Do you think it’s possible for companies or individuals to not comply with court ordered surveillance and search warrants? That’s what prism is, nsa driven data collection ordered by the court system.
Further, on its own and absent any other evidence, the timeline of prism entry corroborates my statement that ios is second to graphene.
Apple is not a good company, there are no good companies. Apple is a company selling security and privacy amongst other things. You have to buy security and privacy because you can’t go out into the backyard, fell a phone tree, carefully choose the section with the strongest, straightest traces and shape it into an optimally private and secure device in the shed using your grandfathers antique phoneworking bench and strap driven phone lathe.
Companies can’t, no. That’s precisely my point. Hence your argument that iOS is more “secure” than any other bar Graphene is disingenuous. iOS is developed by a company which can be (and likely already has been) pressured into compromising its users on behalf of three-letter agencies. The NSA slides are strong evidence of that.
Large collectives of devs spread out all over the world, however, can withstand such pressures since they’re hard to get a hold of. The developers of OSs such as Graphene, Debian or Lineage could easily resist such attempts, simply because they’re not a legal entity incorporated inside a single jurisdiction.
You’re correct in saying that Apple is “selling” privacy and security (as in: marketing, pinky-promising). They may be selling that story, but I ain’t buying it.
As a longtime and current debian user, lol if you think it hasn’t been infiltrated or that any network of developers spread over the globe could resist infiltration let alone the open source “community”.
A large portion of the maintainers of popular open source projects are en the employ of some company or other explicitly because of their maintainer role. Even if some hypothetical distributed global network of developers could resist infiltration, the maintainers of our open source software cannot.
The building blocks of android are maintained by developers who are employed by google. Google was compliant with prism four years before Apple (the exact amount of time it would take for a sealed case to wind its way through appeals).
If the fact of apples compliance with the laws of its jurisdiction worry you, the fact that people don’t get targeted or convicted off of information from properly configured icloud accounts or locked Apple devices should counteract that worry. The fact that other generally held to be trustworthy companies like mullvad are compliant with the laws of their jurisdiction should make it clear that legal compliance doesn’t necessarily mean a company or service isn’t trustworthy.
I would also like to point out that for the purposes of us law, entities outside the jurisdiction of the us are subject to a freer surveillance apparatus which need not be hampered by what some judge is willing to sign off on and doesn’t need to comply with its subjects rights as defined under us law.
An apple in Mexico would be able to offer fewer protections to its us customers than one incorporated in the us.
I thought Samsung stock was better because of Knox et all
better but than the rest of the unmentioned dogshit
