Great writeup! And it's good to see Apple pushing the envelope on device security.

Wouldn't really say Apple is pushing the envelope here, as covered in the previous threads about this topic, a number of Android flavors have done this long ago.

The power of defaults is not to be underestimated. Yes, you probably can do it with some Android distribution but the amount of people using that would be microscopic.

The fragmentation inherent in Android ALONE makes it an insecure device for the vast majority of its normie users. You need a damn near decoder ring just to figure out where you stand.
