What's more secure?

Wow. I'm curious, why do y'all think iOS is more secure than Android?

@realcaseyrollins Well, because it is in fact.

Not my favourite, but Android is a mess of many small manufacturers, cutting costs and not supporting product with much needed security updates.

As much as I think iOS is VERY retrograde in terms of UI, Apple does a good job of supporting their devices - with patch releases and yearly full iOS new versions for at least 3 years from each model's launch.

Even large manufacturers like Samsung are very slow in providing security updates which should be a regular thing.

Very few options in Android devices that have more frequent and better support.

@design_RG Hmm...I had previously thought Apple was more secure, until I watch this video outlining how they are far worse at patching known security vulnerabilities:

I'm currently on a Motorola phone but am looking at replacing it with maybe a Samsung Galaxy A70 within the next year, so security updates are something to consider...on Motorola phones I get monthly updates, so not much to worry about there.

@realcaseyrollins Samsung has a BAD reputation for providing user support. I would avoid them, myself.

There are some smaller manufacturers that have monthly updates and offer good products. I am note sure, but I think a brand was Android One.

I use a Xiao Mi Note 5 Prime and am quite happy with it. Not sold in US, but a big leader in the markets they are active on, got mine in Europe.

mi.com for details.

Great quality and features, customized UI (MIUI, currently v.11), good prices. No wonder they sell out quick in Europe.
