    Hahahaha

    Sticking one’s head in the sand and pretending security is a non-issue is not actually more secure

      If you can’t admit security is better through IOS then you’re the one sticking your head in the sand, tbh

        Security on Android, as an OS, is arguably better. However in practice it’s very manufacturer-dependent. If they didn’t butcher the OS, and actually rolled updates without carriers getting in the way, it wouldn’t be a contest at all.

      Huh?

      Unfortunately for Android users, Google researchers discovered known vulnerabilities, or n-days, that essentially equated to zero-days for Android due to a lack of timely patching issues. The vendor observed that attackers didn’t need zero-day exploits to attack the Android ecosystem because in many cases, patches weren’t available for known flaws, which were then exploited on unpatched devices.
