How does the latest Google's hardware compare to the latest Apple's hardware in terms of security? Can Pixel and Pixelbook now be recommended to journalists[1] as reasonable alternatives to iPhone and iPad, or are Apple's products still much better in this regard?

I'm pretty sure the Pixel 2 had hardware keystore security on par with an iPhone 6/7, which is what that suggests.

GP didn’t ask “hardware keystore” and either way, it’s a false assumption you made. The Titan M is the first comparable chip, based on marketing speak, to Apple’s equivalent. Give it time to see if the marketing speak lives up to technical reality, but my guess at this point is that they’ll be roughly comparable now.

Which actual differences exist between the hardware security of a Pixel 2 and an iPhone 7?
