Apple's iOS lags behind data encryption compared to Google's Android.

The war for the most effective encryption methods data on smartphones you live between Android and IOS.

ΜUntil recently, iPhones were considered the most secure smartphones. A newer report states that Android smartphones now offer better data encryption.

The most secure smartphones

The United States government is working hard to force Apple to create a backdoor, with the aim of giving authorities faster access to user data. According to the government, the only reason he asks for create backdoor is to be able to control the data on smartphones belonging to criminals or suspected perpetrators of serious crimes.

Apple refuses to create any backdoor in order to protect the data and Personal life of its customers. A position defended by many organizations, companies and groups related to consumer privacy.

With or without backdoor, the US government has succeeded in violating the security of iPhones and in fact very effectively. Recent research confirms that the involvement of manufacturers is no longer necessary. A good example is unlock iPhone 11 Pro Max with GrayKey.

The report also includes the head of the Fort Worth Police Department of Digital Forensics, Detective Rex Kiser, who mentions some interesting facts.

According to Rex Kiser, a year ago they did not have access to the data of no iPhone, while they could very easily access the data of most Android smartphones. He goes on to say that access to Android smartphone data is becoming increasingly difficult.

Cellebrite, which was hired by the US government to bypass smartphone defense, said it has a tool that allows breach of defense on all Apple smartphones, up to the iPhone X. The process is as easy as plugging in a cable and pressing a button.

On the other hand, the same tool is not as effective on the Android smartphones it provides partial access devices, and in some cases can not access their data at all.

Of course, it is worth noting that what the report says does not mean that all Android smartphones are safe or that all iPhones up to the X can be compromised. In addition, the report suggests that both iPhones and Android smartphones should be more secure.
