This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

As much as I love my android phone, I have to admit Apple takes privacy and security much more seriously.

What are you talking about, it's literally the same thing on Android. Also why the shilling out of nowhere?
