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.

@zevahs @design_RG

Which phone are you using? I have an aging Moto X4 and am happy to take suggestions.
