South Korean military set to ban iPhones over ‘security’ concerns

They do have security/privacy concerns if you have google installed. However, with vanilla AOSP and vetted applications whose source code can be screened, you have a much much secure device than IPhones.

Or even better: GrapheneOS (hardened Android without bloated Google spyware and all the other crap)

I’ll tell it again. You’ll have security concerns on any Internet/Bluetooth capable device. There is no software without vulnerabilities. There is software in which vulnerabilities were not found, yet. Also, the biggest attack vector is human

What? Sure, no software is completely hacker proof. But u can have more and less secure devices.

That being said, the rest of ur comment just looks like a word salad to me.

this is not an argument for apple's closed source ecosystem. at least you can improve android. you can't imrpove apple.

Conveniently ignoring the difference between Android and iOS - moving the goalpost to BT concerns.

That's called sophistry.

Where did anyone make the claims you're arguing against?
