Or, you could just not have an iphone.

  Lame comment, but for what its worth - I assume my iphone acts like a cia tacking device that sends all my info to nsa, so I never put anything on there that could get me in real trouble. But it would suck if I got a text from a russian organized hacking criminal org that got a hold or my banking credentials.

  Because Android is a far more secure platform and Google is a far more trustworthy custodian of your data? Or are you recommending that one opt out of a good portion of society by not using a smartphone? For most people that is not really a convenient option.

    Hopefully the diversity in the Android ecosystem (seems like every Android phone vendor wants to run their own variants of various bits) makes it harder to exploit all Android devices with one exploit. Also has the downside of increasing the attack surface, but yeah. I feel like it's potatoes grown from "seed" potatoes vs. potatoes grown from actual seeds.

    Have there been any universal exploits like this on modern Android recently? When people discuss android security issues its mostly about the guy who installed random app from gods know where and got into trouble

      Android is just as vulnerable to 0-click exploits as iOS is. In some ways it is more exposed.

        How is android more exposed? Project Zero people have worked very hard to harden the core system. That doesn't completely eliminate 0days but makes finding them much harder.
