Just…don’t use it?

Even Google controlling the hardware and the software of their Pixel line remains vulnerable to data extraction while the latest iPhone versions aren’t.

No it doesn’t. Only old versions. Just like old versions of iOS. This is why security updates are so important.

That’s really interesting. For example it says GOS phones can’t be accessed past 2022. But if you had confiscated a GOS phone in, say, 2020, and just waited for that particular vulnerability to rear it’s head, you could access it and all of its’ contents.

You have anything to back that up or just speculation?

And I mean I guess they can also illegally (and whose gonna stop them) force you to open your phone with a passcode or pattern as well.

You would stop them. By not giving it to them.

Of course there’s always torture, which cops have been known to do, but is probably “unlikely”.

newer Pixel and iPhone models seem to be the most resilient to these attacks

Pretty much exactly what one would expect, honestly. Especially with so many Android OEMs lacking critical security updates.

Yeah I’ve visited the local one but they are exorbitantly expensive. Like 6 figures. There’s a lot of custom fabrication involved. And at the end of it you still have a car that lacks modern safety features.

Hate to break it to you but spyware is in all cars, regardless of powertrain.

Not really anything to do with EVs, just that OEMs don’t seem to WANT to make cheap ones, for some reason. Think like a Chevy Spark but with 200+ miles of range.
