   What API is on iOS that queries DNS with encryption that isn't on Android?   
      
   Yesterday I was at a Christmas party in the Silicon Valley with a few   
   Google & Apple execs, where I asked everyone why they liked their phone,   
   and when I said there was nothing on iOS that isn't already on Android (for   
   free besides), one guy who writes code for both platforms told me that   
   there are APIs in iOS that are public that are not in Android (public or   
   private), such as the API to encrypt DNS queries without VPN.   
      
   That was interesting since he knew far more than I do, of course, as he's a   
   VP of a startup company that sells communications equipment to both   
   companies.   
      
   If anyone knows more about that - let me know if you know the specifics.
