How does the sandboxing of applications compare on iOS and Android? Reading that iOS had trouble blocking applications from calling OS functions they weren't supposed to, plus they're running native code, not Java, seems to imply a security bug in an application is more severe on iOS than Android.
See the Whatsapp root exploit for an example.
Or are there additional protections in iOS, comparable to Android?
