Is there real non marketing evidence that android is less secure?

- i5-2520M 3y agoThe version distribution stats. Unfortunately I don't think there is one for security patches, but I am pretty sure an average android device is less secure. Though conceptually there are arguments you can make either way between a recent pixel and iPhone if you want to compare the best to the best.
- alphabettsy 3y agoI’m not talking about exploits. I’m talking about the fact that users can install applications on Android that have far broader access to the system on Android. While great for people like me, it’s not always great for typical users.
- yonatan8070 3y agoAndroid applications have as much or as little access as you give them, you don't have to grant every permission an app asks for.
- scarface_74 3y agoAnd yes and that has worked out well for Android and PCs. A coworker was just bragging last week that he secretly installed something on his son’s Android phone that allowed him to listen in on him, see screenshots of everything he was doing. Users generally just accept all.
