Yes, if you want a hackable system that you can root/jailbreak and run any combination of hardware & OS & browser and keep 7+ year old devices running, you're better off on Android. I don't think anybody would disagree with that. > In any case, I don't think there can be any opposing arguments on the side of security for Apple not updating Safari via AppStore I don't really follow. It's not about just updating it via the AppStore, it would also require making all future changes to Safari compatible with old hardware and old versions of iOS. They have a pretty impressive track record lately of supporting devices up to 5 or 6 years old, but they can't support everything forever. The security argument for it is that almost nobody is using these devices anymore, so their resources are better spent securing systems that have more users.
