Why are android systems so insecure even with encryption enabled? Also I don't like Google up in every single thing I do on my phone. Apple has a much better track record with privacy and security. Don't say they don't because they do......the big cases where they will not open locked phones. Android File based encryption sucks. FDE sucks because you have to completely power down the phone for protection and it still sucks. Maybe next year when they get the secure enclave in the snapdragon 845 they will finally be on par with iOS security.

As for freedom of use, yeah for sure android is way better. Much more immersive experience and you can do what you want. I guess it's just a matter of what you want really. More freedom to mess around and get features that could make you happy but sacrifice the security or the apple way. No real winner there, just a different way of how people view their phones. Is it just a tool that you don't keep important stuff on, or is it a computer that you keep VERY sensitive info on or don't want to be tracked. All up to the person I guess.
That's an interesting point you make there.
I don't need to hide any of my data as I don't do anything which would be interesting to anyone so it's not a huge major concern for me.
