iOS friends, it's time to jump to a more secure mobile platform (Android) and/or update your iOS devices so that attackers cannot takeover your devices 🤣

They’re all evil. Not worth it unless you’re planning to run Graphene IMO. The telemetry is insane. CVEs are kinda a toss up between the two the last few years, and counting CVEs is not a good metric.

My takeaway is run what you like unless your threat model is elevated. Lock down your Android or iPhone if you’re moderate risk. Run Graphene if you have any need of guarantees.

Article highlighting telemetry issues. Not conclusive, more just to illustrate that both options imply a trade off we’d all rather not make.

If you’re at a high risk and concerned for your security and privacy you might as well get rid of the smartphone and use a dumb phone.

This is seriously the best take. But there are multiple stops along the way to being at that much risk imo.

Cell phones are a privacy concern anyway just looking at how much info the carriers can collect on you.
