Would you say that iOS ecosystem suffers the same rate of malware as Android?
- tadfisher 8mo agoOf course not. In other news, a new study shows that cutting off your feet is 100% effective against athlete's foot.
- mirekrusin 8mo agoHaven't seen that one but I've seen working medication, it does exist on the market and does work, why not switching to use it?

- array_key_first 8mo agoThe app store does contain malware, although arguably less than the play store. Apple devices would be much more secure without the app store. Apple should remove the app store.
- microtonal 8mo agoThere could be many other factors, like abysmal patch policies. Many vendors still only do Android Security Bulletins (which are only vulnerabilities marked as high and critical), do them late (despite a three month embargo for patches), very delayed device firmware updates, and sometimes only for two or three years. Many Android phones still do not have a separate secure element. Also, the Play Store itself regularly contains malware. In the end it is mostly about control, dressed up as protecting users. If it was about security, Google would support GrapheneOS remote attestation for Google Pay (for being the most secure Android variant) and cut off many existing phones with deplorable security.
- workfromspace 8mo agoNot OP, but my experience was most of the malware-like apps on App Store were top ads of apps with names similar to the original ones: such as Whatsapp or Office.
