And then try to sell me an iphone they claim has encryption? Any other bright ideas?

Someone will sell you an app that double-encrypts your phone. Get in with the Apple key, and the FBI will still have to get past a PGP-equivalent that is beyond the capabilities of even the NSA.

Someone will sell you an app that double-encrypts your phone. Get in with the Apple key, and the FBI will still have to get past a PGP-equivalent that is beyond the capabilities of even the NSA.

The iPhone 5s and above already encrypts the data to a 256bit AES standard. . . and it's the best encryption there is available. There is no need for double data encryption on an iPhone. Such double encryption is not worth doing. . . It's a waste of resources.

PGP-equivalent is what you need for Android phones.

The only reason you'd want a PGP app on an iPhone is to encrypt and decrypt mail.
