Really /g/, why do you think this?

Here's your (You)

Two things, first is that there's a fuckload more to an operating system's capabilities, especially where cryptography is concerned, than what kernel it has.
Second, the Linux kernel is not related to iOS in any way, shape or form.

Third, OP is a faglord.

1. iOS uses the same XNU kernel as Mac OS X. XNU is based on BSD and Mach, and as such is not Linux.
2. Instead of looking at which one supports encryption (every OS supports encryption, dumbass), try looking at vulnerabilities. That would be the means by which an attacker could gain unauthorized access to your system (because what use is encryption if I can install a keylogger on your device?). Turns out, Apple consistently performs the worst in this regard.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I also agree it's retarded but in this situation it's entirely irrelevant

look /g/ , you have overused this fucking pasta soo much that now retards use it even if they don't know wtf it means.
