A quick search indeed seems to agree with the statement the number of CVE's raised against Android is below that of iOS. Numbers from cvedetails.com: Android 245, iOS 857 I guess it is not a direct proof something is more insecure? There are other factors that push the numbers up or down. Project popularity, the type of CVE,... And projects depend on each-other too (Linux kernel -> Chrome OS and Android). Am I missing anything? Can any of the downvoters please elaborate?
