At the moment I am thinking about getting a new phone in the foreseeable future. I was long time using android, but switched to iOS 5 years ago because of the longer update period. Now also some android devices offer a longer update support of about 5 years. Now I am thinking about switching back to android.

But i am wondering: is there any big difference from a privacy perspective between iOS and android? I know you can go for custom roms on android that are focused on privacy which i also used in the past, but i am not planning on doing this in the future. So it would come down to stock android vs stock iOS. Any advice there or is all lost anyway?

    Can someone please implement the lock screen from BlackBerry that was using a picture and a grid of numbers? It was:

    • fast - one gesture
    • secure - I could have you watch up close what I’m doing and you still wouldn’t know the unlock code

    Is it patented? Why android doesn’t have it?
