> There is a myth in the infosec community ... that phones are more secure/private than a standard Windows desktop machine

This doesn't make sense on any level. What subset of the infosec community actually believes this? Teenagers hiding porn from their parents?

Windows spews to 30+ microsoft domains with pinned certs, so we can't MITM to see what's going on.

Android spews to X Google domains with pinned certs, so we can't MITM to see what's going on.

Apple is perceived to value security and privacy, due to prior postures and public statements that Apple doesnt work with terrori... FBI. But we only have their word.

The only thing that doesn't spit and spew is a hardened install of Linux.

All are terrible, except Linux. We know what it's doing.
