What's the encryption story with Pixel 3a? I know when I lock my old iPhone 6 that not even the Federal Government can get into it. Can the same be said for the Pixel?
I thought the federal government was able to from the whole San Bernardino shooting suspect's phone?
My Nexus 6P died in the fall of 2018 and I had to upgrade so I got the Pixel 3. If i knew they were going to make a $400 Pixel 3a I would have waited. Really pissed about this release cycle and I feel like I wasted money I didn't want to spend.
after being an iphone user for years i switched to Android when apple released iphone 7. up to iphone 6s the innovation was worth upgrading but since then 'flagship' devices have been adding just gimmicks while charging 4 digit amounts. I got my OnePlus 5T for 499 and two years later it works like it did on its first day. Unlike iphones that would slow down after exactly 1 year when a new iphone was released. right n…
Slightly off-topic: I have an iPhone 6 that I believe cost me $299 in 2015. Whenever it dies I'm going to continue with Apple but I guess it will be the first time I don't buy a current model. I just can't justify the cost of a $899+ device for my use-case.

If your extra paranoid about the government or whoever decrypting your phone, use a strong passphrase and only use it for decrypting your phone. Also turn if off before any interactions with police/TSA/NSA/whoever. This will work for any reasonably new Android. If you don't trust me feel free to dig into the code yourself!

I'm tired of even $400-500 every 2 years, for seemingly the same thing over and over. I'm going to do battery replacements as long as the device survives. (I'm 2 battery replacements into my Nexus 6P).

The iPhone 6 retailed for a minimum of $649. Your comparing subsidized to unsubsidized prices. Its not a fair comparison, the difference was just paid monthly as part of your cellphone contract.

How do you port the iOS data to an android system ?
