- praptak 10y agoLesser known is actually worse. Less work by the community on removing security holes vs an attacker who can concentrate efforts. Not that it matters - high profile should not use any kind of phone for anything serious.

Otherwise, iOS is probably the most secure mobile operating system, simply based on the price of remote exploits: a remote exploit for iOS is worth several times more ($500K-1M) than the equivalent one for Android ($100K-200K).
