<h2>Google Pixel 3</h2>
<p>The <strong>Google Pixel 3/3 XL</strong> and the <strong>Google Pixel 3a/3a XL</strong> are the only secure Android devices currently on the market that can be made privacy-respecting. They have hardware-backed keystores, verified boot functionality <em>with custom ROMs</em>, attestation support, as well as proper ongoing support for their firmware and proper ongoing support for software specific to the hardware used in the device, which is necessary for <em>complete</em> security updates.</p>

<h2>iPhone 11</h2>
<p>The <strong>iPhone 11 Pro</strong> and the <strong>iPhone 11</strong> are the most secure and tested mobile devices on the market. They support verified boot, strong sandboxing, and strong hardware security (Secure Enclave). They also receive regular and frequent security updates, and they will receive updates far longer than competing Android devices.</p>
<p>An iPhone does not make people compromise between the avalibility of third-party apps and having strong security and privacy from their device.
<p>An iPhone does not make people compromise between the avalibility of third-party apps and having strong security and privacy from their device. Therefore we believe it is the most suitable option for less technical users, or users looking for a better out-of-the-box experience.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-danger">iCloud</span></h5>
<p>It is important to note that iOS comes with numerous iCloud integrations, many of which are enabled by default. We recommend advoiding the use of iCloud whenever possible to avoid your personal information being stored on Apple's servers, and we only recommend the use of an Apple ID for App Store use.</p>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, iCloud device backups are currently <strong>not</strong> End-to-End Encrypted. You should only backup your device using iTunes.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">No Known Exploits</span></h5>
<p>There are no <em>known, major hardware</em> exploits for the iPhone 11 series, making them a safer choice over older iPhone models. All iPhone models up to and including the iPhone X are affected by <strong>checkm8</strong>, a permanent unpatchable bootrom exploit that <em>may</em> compromise your device's security.</p>
<p>There are no known, major <em>hardware</em> exploits for the iPhone 11 series, making them a safer choice over older iPhone models. All iPhone models up to and including the iPhone X are affected by <strong>checkm8</strong>, a permanent unpatchable bootrom exploit that <em>may</em> compromise your device's security.</p>
<p>This does not mean an exploit is impossible: <strong>unc0ver</strong> is an iOS 13 software exploit that affects even the iPhone 11, however it has been patched in iOS 13.3.1. Always keeping your device up-to-date is the most important step to take to keep your devices secure.</p>
