"using 128-bit AES encryption, which should buy you some time if someone manages to crack your password and start rooting through your phone."
Provided you used a strong encryption password (Minimum of 10 characters, upper and lower, numbers and special characters), the key will never be broken. I'll leave you with this:
"Assuming that one could build a machine that could recover a DES key in a second (i.e., try 2^55 keys per second), then it would take that machine approximately 149 thousand-billion (149 trillion) years to crack a 128-bit AES key. To put that into perspective, the universe is believed to be less than 20 billion years old."
