I don't want to spend $1k for a phone that'll only get 2 years worth of software updates

is there a place to see NSA approved phones

idk what certs you are talking about. I am sure windows machines get certified for govt as well

The s5 and s6 still get software updates

https://www.nsa.gov/resources/everyone/csfc/components-list/

Rest in piece anything older than a11

lots of iPhones is approved

Apple about to dump it again with iOS 12

They got that cert this summer

1 year late

in any case

the apple security enclave is what makes the OS recommended. In that the security is hw backed

And that is iOS 11.2
Anything older and between iOS 10 is not secure enough

Security enclave is only there for touchid my fren

no its there on A7 and newer

Doesnt Android run the SELinux which was originally some NSA module and now also AppArmor

So?
İt stops people from running fake touchid home buttons but nothing else

Literally any Android phone with decent hardware has a secure enclave like system

İf you have a post prehistoric snapdragon it's probably secured on the hardware side

Aka this autism called secure

no sure what you're talking about as far as touchid goes

put american SoC on chink mobo, where all companies are forced to cooperate with Chinese intelligence, surely its safe

https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2016-02-19-what-is-the-secure-enclave.html but the security enclave is discussed on this blog post

Secure enclave is the module that protects touch id and nothing else

Your iPhone is encrypted even on a 2g

And anything working with 0s and 1s can be encrypted

actually there's a better link

updated

Basically your average secure boot hw
"The Secure Enclave contains its own UID and hardware AES engine. The passcode verification process takes place here, separated from the rest of the system. The Secure Enclave also handles Touch ID fingerprint processing and matching, and authorizing payments for Apple Pay."

And in the end some isreali company did provide the FBI a tool to bypass it lol

haven't heard of that and i doubt it

unless you're talking about that iphone in san bernardino, which isn't relevant

Apple is advertising a glorified micro processor with some low level crap but still gets beaned

And now they are putting encrypting smc in all their products
