I'd wager that my iPhone and MacBook (encrypted) are safer against 99% of all adversaries on this planet. Now maybe the NSA and some other high-level players can get around even the newest security features, but I'm pretty sure the crook that steals my phone can't, as well as my local police. What else should I be afraid off? If the NSA want to screw me, they will find ways around my computers. Same for CIA/FBI etc. To me it appears that a modern iPhone is the most secure phone you can own. Not claiming to like it, but it is better than the one alternative OS you could use. And other than the big players? Linux on your phone - probably a PITA; Linux on your Laptop/Workstation - fine if you don't need specific programs. But want to develop for iOS? It's mac all the way. |

Because of how restrictive apple is, if this is a requirement then none of the other reasons matter
That being said, I've been living, working and playing fine over in the android and linux ecosystems. "Specific programs" like xcode I guess, but most everything else has a generic equivalent
