AirTags are the standard tracking device right now. The Android version
still has a long way to go.

Hi badgolferman,

Please never forget I'm not stupid. Give me credit for being intelligent.

And yet you don't acknowledge that badgolferman has come up with a good example.

Prior to AirTags the market leader was Tile. Now Tile are struggling to be relevant. The android solutions are desperate to join Apple's Find My
network.

I think you misunderstood what I said

Everyone understands your one-sided, factless rhetoric.

I'm going to converse with you as if you own normal adult cognition, OK?

Look again. I told badgolferman right away that he was the only one who suggested *anything* that the iPhone "leapfrogged" Android. I feted him.

However, I also note that AirTags are NOT an iPhone feature; so we're still waiting for even a single iPhone feature that leapfrogged that of Android.

badgolfernan has already convinced of your misconception so I'll refer you
to him.

Q: Name a single iPhone feature that you believe "leapfrogged" Android.
A: ?

To repeat as you ignored it last time: AirPods (+ Pros) and FaceID. Android equivalents for the airpods have since caught up, mostly, but not FaceID. There's also the Automation/ShortCuts feature which doesn't have an
equivalent in android and includes the Geofencing functionality which you lauded didn't exist.

Plus iphone security is currently uncrackable by the popular cracking tool
used by both law enforcement and others willing to pay the high fees: https://www.techspot.com/news/103880-cellebrite-tools-cant-crack-iphones-running-ios-174.html

Android doesn't fare quite so well. For example, the Trump shooter had his Samsung phone cracked: https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/techandscience/the-fbi-got-into-the-trump-rally-shooter-s-phone-in-just-40-minutes/ar-BB1qhMgY

Unfortunately for you, for you to claim FaceID is anything but a (rather brilliant) mere marketing gimmick is not going to sit well with me, since I am well aware why Apple customers *need* such a gimmick

I *knew* you would go down this rabbit hole.

Need is utterly irrelevant to your question. The fact is biometrics are commonly used by mobile phone users and FaceID is easily more advanced than other facial recognition methods available.

Besides, even Android has the same garbage gimmick.

I agree that the android version is garbage.

There's also the Automation/ShortCuts feature which doesn't have an
equivalent in android and includes the Geofencing functionality which you
lauded didn't exist.

This is absurd. The automation on Android far surpasses anything on Apple. I'm not even going to go there as you're desperate at this point.

Because you can't. You didn't even know it existed on ios so you don't know what you're talking about. Again.

Jesus Christ. You fall for every marketing gimmick in the book, Chris.
Do you know the iPhone is far more exploited than Android, Chris?
<https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>

That link doesn't confirm what you think it does. As was demonstrated to
you.

Do you realize that Android security for dozens of core modules is updated monthly for every Android 10 device on the Internet while iOS is not?

It's not all of them, though, is it? The rest of the os is completely vulnerable. To the joy of the likes of cellebrite.

Do you even realize that Pegasus often infects the iOS kernel and yet it
has NEVER been able to infect the Android kernel, Chris.

Pegasus targets high value individuals. *That's* why it doesn't target
android ;)
