Your comments are embarrassing for you.

Read the actual article:

The Israeli military has decided to ban Android phones for senior officers, on security grounds.

So, it is because iPhones are “safer.”

Also, go get informed on mobile security. Cellebrite is well known for providing governments with tools to hack mobile OSes. Posting an article from 6 years ago shows how ill-informed you are on the topic. At least go find the most up to date information because security vulnerabilities are found and patched constantly. Six year old information is useless. What Cellebrite’s current capabilities are gets leaked periodically. Last I can find for iOS is Cellebrite can’t hack iPhones running the latest OS. It can hack Androids, unless they are using GrapheneOS.

As someone in tech myself, I’d rather have an iPhone than the average Android phone from a security perspective. If you really care about security and are willing to make some trade offs, use GrapheneOS.
