Mobile phones aren't secure. Period. Anyone saying otherwise about theirs better provide convincing evidence that they mitigated everything on that non-comprehensive list. Then we talk about what I left off. When FBI said they couldn't get in, I knew they were lying to try to establish a precedent & technical method to increase their convenience. It was also only time Richard Clarke's pronouncement was relieving where he said (paraphrased) "I'd just ask the NSA to break into it." Because they or a contractor could due to risks not mitigated. Obvious.
Honestly not sure if I'll ever trust a tiny, slim smartphone for high-security INFOSEC given the effect of EMSEC on size and hardware POLA on power consumption. If their physical specs are Apple-grade, then they cut corners on INFOSEC and some government hacker has job security.
