Excuse my ignorance, but is Apple's encryption in iOS 9 devices significantly stronger than any of the newest Android devices? Also, are there any precedents of any government demanding the unlocking of any Android phones?
AFAIK, I don't think we know, or can compare. It's my understanding that Apple's setup is closed-source, so we can't inspect, whereas Android's is open.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

This isn't an issue, as, by default, android phones send everything to the cloud (exceptions for custom roms, etc). So govt can just ask Google for a copy from their server instead.
