Well, it is documented that the NSA made DES weaker by using less bits for key size (this makes brute forcing easier). I aslo noted that Schiener's AES submission was passed over (I speculate that Rijndael is easier to brute force).

This is not Google, it is your phone company. You are describing a common practice and it does not matter if the phone OS is Google, Apple or MS. If you don't want to jump through hoops to root your phone, you can pay full price for i
