There's no secure enclave in the processors Android phones use.
Yes there is. Apple's secure enclave is just Apple's implementation of ARM's Trustzone. Something high end Android phones have been using for a while now.
No. Similar, but not the same. That's like saying the A7-A9 cores are just Apples version of an ARM A57 core.
And Android phones, even high-end ones, are still stuck using software encryption.
Apple is way ahead of Android in these areas. It's not even close.

For 98% (my guess) of users with higher-end phones the difference has no practical effect security-wise IMHO. Would you disagree?
On a side but related note have you ever had a situation where encryption benefitted you? I realize it's like insurance and we should all have it, but if not you has anyone you know personally been impacted by not having it active on their smart-device? This really is a serious question so if we could avoid making it into anything offensive as it's not meant to be.
