- varispeed 7mo agoYes, but you can use anti-virus software on other platforms which can detect many threats. Also just because others are not great, doesn't excuse Apple from being very much negligent. I know many people who bought Apple products specifically because of the myth that they are secure. They were in fact mis sold. There is common thinking that no anti virus software = no viruses = secure among non technical crowd.
- walterbell 7mo ago> the most secure Except for withholding iOS 18 security fixes when public exploits are fixed in iOS 26.
- unsupp0rted 7mo agoEven then. I'll take a leaky iOS 18 over pretty much any leaky Android or internet-connected TV or whatever. iPhones are still the least bad option, for regular people who aren't planning to solder anything, select their boot loader on launch, or recompile a kernel.
- buggeryorkshire 7mo agoMy Pixel 8 Pro is more secure than your iOS 18 handset Apple don't care about.
