   Somewhat tangential but is "most secure consumer mobile device" actually correct? Does an iPhone beat out a grapheneOS android, or would that not be considered consumer because of aftermarket changes? Seems like a pretty bold claim but I know apple is pretty damn good with security (as long as you dont count Apple as a security risk themselves)

      From leaked Cellebrite presentations, it seems GrapheneOS is more secure. But it's easy for Apple marketing to move the goal posts by adding words like 'consumer'. They do this all the time in their marketing, like:

      Force sensor with volume swipe arrives on AirPods 5, a first for the open-ear form factor, adding the ability to quickly adjust volume by swiping up or down on the stem.

      Add some qualifiers so that you can call yourself 'first'.
