I Martin,

My mistake for not discussing Motorola. I was responding to your comments
about the S22 Ultra, and S22+ and Galaxy S but I didn't respond to the Moto
E (2nd gen) (nor did I respond to the Nexus) so I was not complete.

I think all of us, though, would agree that Android FULL support, if we
count all the $39.99 phones, is worse than that of Apple in many ways, but
what's interesting is that the iPhone is not more protected than Android if
we look at overall security.

There isn't a security researcher on the planet who wo9uld claim the iPhone
is more secure today, at this very moment, than the Android phone of today.

So in a way, it's a red herring for us to discuss FULL support differences
given that the support for both iPhones and Android phones results in the
same security overall.

This is paradoxical, don't you think?
