It is a statistic, why else do you think iOS is as locked down as it is, and Android is doing the same thing? You are assuming competence where there is none. Do you honestly think the average person knows how to use a smartphone? That they will take time out of their day to know what the things they are pressing are actually doing?

- overstay8930 3y agoAre you asking me if locked down devices are more secure when someone who doesn’t know how to use said device is using it? Really?
- Rinzler89 3y agoI'm asking you to prove the statistics of people being hacked in larger numbers because of open handsets, not that theoretically locked down ones seem more secure.
- overstay8930 3y agoYou mean the massive bot nets running on android and not on iOS?
- Rinzler89 3y agoWhich Aneroid phone botnets? How many are on my Android phone right now?
- overstay8930 3y agoDo you want a list of them? https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2021/02/android-devices-caught-in-matryosh-botnet https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2021/02/android-devic... Again, android is a security shithole because of what you want to happen to iOS.
- nickburns 3y agothe universe is a "security shithole" unless one can competently protect oneself or have a competent protector/s do it for them. i certainly don't feel like Apple nor Alphabet is in any vested position to protect me any more competently than i would at least want to have the option to try do for myself. how this post even otherwise tumbled down the 'iPhone versus Droid' bottomless pit is missing that point entirely. food for thought.
- overstay8930 3y agoApple absolutely has an incentive to protect their customers. There’s a reason Android has the horrible reputation it does now, and it’s because Google didn’t give a fuck.
