This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

As much as I love my android phone, I have to admit Apple takes privacy and security much more seriously.

Security yes, but privacy not so much...

Compared to any android phone the privacy is substantially better. Apple is in the business of selling overpriced phones. Google is in the data collection business.

If you aren't using the iOS lockdown mode, it's not really that much more private. Most stuff is still not encrypted in iCloud without that on, and apps can still track much of what you do, and Apple has their own ad networks.

Edit: has any of the downvoters actually read Apple's (public!) security architecture documents?
