A number of years ago I found a crypto flaw in a Samsung component they shipped on their Android phones. Due to carrier update delays it took nearly two years for all the patches to roll out. Apple on the other hand can go from notice to patch available in weeks.

The key advantage Apple has is vertical integration. Google has to coordinate with third party vendors to ensure that an OS patch reaches Android users. Apple can just flip a switch.
