| > I'm assuming here that you're taking "standard precautions": Under the standard of "standard precautions," iOS has had multiple orders of magnitude more malware infections than Android instead of just one or two due to Xcodeghost. Also, my statement was about people outside of China, as you can see by the end of the quoted sentence, so many of your reasonable precautions don't apply. > You actually cannot buy Android phones in China [snip] You misread my point. My point was that if you're in China, you're already screwed, no matter which device you legally purchase in China. For the rest of us outside of China (including you in Canada and me in the US), Android devices are clearly superior for privacy as I have shown earlier. > IIRC, the phones with these editions hit a different Android One firmware-update server, one run by the Chinese government. Android One phones are not legally sold in China because the update server is run by Google, which has no servers in China. |
