Which Iphone is more secure?

[imranirfan]

It seems iphone is the most secure mobile phone as shown by apple vs fbi. is it about iphone 6 only due to some hardware feature or is it due to IOS 9.

If iphone 4 is upgraded to ios 9 , will it provide same security like iphone 6 ?

 

[FaridAhmed]

AFAIK devices running iOS 8 or above are secure

If iphone 4 is upgraded to ios 9

How exactly are you going to do that? Jailbreak? That doesn't seem very secure.

will it provide same security like iphone 6 ?

Simply put, NO.

Combination of both. iOS 9 as well as the presence of Touch ID.

The latest Google Nexus phones and the Galaxy S7 are just as secure because they have forced encryption like the iPhone. You can make any Android phone just as secure by enabling encryption.

The FBI can't crack Android phones either. Of course if you care about security you can kiss rooting and bootloader unlocking goodbye.

Encryption doesn't automatically mean no one can hack into a phone. How can you tell if Samsung or Google cannot break into this encryption?

In Mossberg's review of the S7 he included a statement from Samsung saying they cannot unlock the phone.

And it doesn't matter to me if they can or can't. For me the definition of security is if hackers can't break it. Encryption means that even if someone manages to break the phone by wiping it they will never be able to recover the data.
