[QUOTE="patrick85, post: 979268, member: 94558"] Hello, I'm considering buying a new smartphone and currently I'm deciding between buying iPhone 13 Pro max, maybe only 13 pro version or buying Samsung Galaxy S22+. In the past, I've had a very bad experience of being targeted by hackers on my old android device due to the sensitivity of my work and unfortunately, the risk is still high that I may come under another cyber or surveillance attack with the aim to install monitoring malware on my device to track my location, hack my microphone and camera and steal my personal and financial information. The group of people targeting me are reasonably sophisticated, not the world's best hackers but people with education in cyber security with experience of doing these types of attacks. I'm not worried only about remote attacks on my device but also ones where someone may try to get psychical access to my device. My question is which of those two devices would you recommend from the standpoint of security to minimise the chance of a successful attack on my smartphone and to also be able if needed to have the device checked by forensic experts to check or find evidence of a cybercrime. I know there are non-commercial brands of phones that are focused on security but I'm not sure I would want to go down that road given the user experience those devices provide compared to "commercial" phones. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
