> Earlier today I decided to switch my Android for an iPhone.

Mistake #1 : switching to an even more closed computing environment, where user has strictly no control

> android

Mistake #2 : running on a tech. stack you do not control: closed-source, walled-garden

> wallet

Mistake #3 : using a wallet instead of your own private cold storage to hold any kind of significant amounts of money

> but its still up there, #1 search result.

Mistake #4 : trusting that Apple is making huge efforts to secure their environment.

In the same vein as "not your keys, not your coins" :

    - "trust the vendor, not your coins"

    - "not your hardware, not your coins"

    - "not your operating system, not your coins"

    - "not your key management software, not your coins"

    - "not open source and therefore not auditable, not your coins"
