Pros vs. Cons on Android for Bitcoin

[jeraldskie11]

So I now own an Android, I got sick of apple and wanted to change things up.

I'm genuinely interested to know what are the real pros vs. cons on owning one vs. apple?

Especially in the sense for BTC or crypto purposes in, how does android compare for anything crypto related vs. Apple?

Are they way ahead of the game here? Are they behind? I feel like both appear to want to be more crypto user friendly.....


 

Android is more crypto user friendly than Apple. It's because Android is the most used by people, and only few are using Apple. According to thiswebsite, people who uses mobile phone worldwide 69% of them are android users while 29.89% are using IOS. Now, if you are the owner of a cryptocurrency project, you will favor Android because it has more users than IOS. However, in terms of security, Apple is superior because Android is more prone to malware. However, it is also dependent on how you care for your keys and phone, since I've been using crypto wallets for years with an Android phone and it has never failed me.

Android is more crypto user friendly than Apple.

One pros of Android is that the  relevant devices  can be turn into airgapped fortresses to store crypto stashes  offline   by stripping off  on the system level   all types of electromagnetic (except optical) connectivity to outside world . The working solution  to do this on Android smartphones  offers AirGap Knox , which regrettably doesn't work on IOS devices.

I am an Android user from the past and have never used Airgap Knox or such security system,
Maybe this is also like Samsung Knox Used by samsung android devices.

The use of Airgap knox like this really has to use a different smartphone and not use the main smartphone.
Because the potential to be infected with malware and ransomware is clearly still there.
Malware like Xenomorph can infect and penetrate root files, so it will be left on the system even if the device uses Airgap Knox or such an application.

And for iOS users now it supports so that AirGap Knox can be installed on Apple devices that support iOS 13.0 or later.

I dont really get why  AirGap Knox is necessary. What is wrong with the following steps ? factory reset. Put encryption, set pin, set erase data on wrong pin, put device on airplane mode and create seed and factory reset again if you are hodling or keep the device off if you want to sign transactions once in a while

set erase data on wrong pin

How to do this? I found a lot of instructions on the web, but all of them tell me that, while creating a password or a PIN, there must be the option to set the number of failed attempts after which the device is to be wiped. I tried to do this with my Samsung and my Pixel, but there isn't such an option. Is it available only on some specific devices?
