Apple iPhone is much more vulnerable than Android and Huawei are the safest

Apple devices are marketed as some of the most secure and private on the market. This belief has taken hold among iPhone users, who perceive their security and privacy as superior to that of Android. However, this isn't actually the case, as researchers have demonstrated that encryption on Android is better than that of iOS.

Android is generally considered to be easier to break than iOS, the same goes for Windows and Linux or MacOS. Actually, the more extensive a platform is, the more people are developing or looking for security solutions. Even the FBI's cracking tools are becoming less and less effective on the Android operating system.

Apple iPhone more vulnerable than Android

Researchers have used a UFED 4PC tool that is used to access terminal data. From various iPhone models it has been possible to extract practically all the information from the terminals. To give us an idea, messages, calls, data from applications such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and other applications have been extracted, and even GPS positioning.

To see if Android is more secure, the Google Pixel 2 XL, Galaxy S9 and Huawei P20 Pro terminals have been analyzed. The researchers were unable to obtain all the information obtained from the iPhone. But it is also that the researchers said that the Huawei terminals could not get any data, declaring it impossible to crack.

So the conclusion of the investigation is that Android terminals are much more protected than Apple terminals. This is because the encryption of the terminals based on the Google operating system have better encryption.

Do you know the most curious thing? That Chema Alonso on his channel has a video explaining all this and it is from 2015. But it is also that since 2015 it seems that Apple has not changed anything with respect to the security of its terminals.
