#2I would absolutely prefer iMessage be open to Android, but part of me wants an indication that it’s a non-Apple device because I do feel there is a difference in security and privacy on Apple devices vs Android.
Does that seem absurd?

I don't know if it's absurd but it is nosy. If other people want to use a less-secure OS that's none of your business.

Is there real non marketing evidence that android is less secure?

Ironic, more like.
Consider Graphene and the required devices’ security, and the last decade or so of zero-click iOS stuff.

The version distribution stats. Unfortunately I don't think there is one for security patches, but I am pretty sure an average android device is less secure. Though conceptually there are arguments you can make either way between a recent pixel and iPhone if you want to compare the best to the best.

#8Note that he has contacts deep inside Apple that often do controlled leaks through him so I consider him part of the Apple PR system. Especially for things they want to say but do not wish to make the official Apple line.
Sometimes he has reasonable technical insights but for unbiased reporting there's no point IMO. And of course this is a pretty contentious issue.

Nobody I know non-professionally is using Graphene. And zero-days exist and have existed for every platform. I’m talking about default security. Apps on Android can literally take over the messaging system.

I’m not talking about exploits. I’m talking about the fact that users can install applications on Android that have far broader access to the system on Android. While great for people like me, it’s not always great for typical users.
