Graphene OS vs iOS Lockdown Mode

tmp773

Hello, I am from Iran

I've been trying to find information comparing features of Graphene OS and iOS' Lockdown Mode but have been coming up short. There is a decent amount of info generally comparing Android and iOS, but not their hardened counterparts.

I don't have the technical knowledge to review code and do the research myself, so I was hoping maybe some of the community members here would know. What are some things they both do? What are some things only one does? Any areas of particular lacking? How quick is Apple/Graphene at responding to potential vulnerability reports? Hows the track record of exploits? (iOS seems to get more but those that I've seen are all mitigated by lockdown mode, such as the recent iMessenger exploit)

Thank you for reading and any replies.

Personally, I would read through the GrapheneOS website since it's caulk full of useful and very important information. Especially this section: https://grapheneos.org/features

This was a previous discussion regarding iOS and GrapheneOS: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/758-ios-vs-graphene-os

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212650 and https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/lockdown-mode-iph049680987/ios explain what Lockdown Mode is and how to enable it.

https://www.idropnews.com/ios-17/apples-lockdown-mode-will-get-even-more-secure-in-ios-17-and-watchos-10/196281/ covers in detail what Lockdown Mode is and how it will be even more secure with the release of iOS 17 which releases in 4 days.

Thanks I did read that second link, but that doesn't really compare iOS lockdown to Graphene, just general iOS. I will review the other links though. Thanks.
