All you Apple nutjobs are living in the past from very long ago.
It used to be iOS had fewer zero-day holes than Android, and even fewer
exploits in the wild (which Apple never admits but the government publishes
them so you have to be living more than five years in the past to NOT know
that iOS always has twice the number of zero-days as Android, and lately
iOS has had three times the number of zero-days as Android).
*But what's worse are the exploits.*
*Oh... those Apple exploits!*
iOS has had _ten times_ more exploits in the wild for four years running!

None of you Apple nutjobs know the figures from today because you're all
living in the past - but worse - you don't even know _why_ this happened.
None of you Apple nutjobs understands what's _different_ about iOS that
it's not only filled with holes like Swiss Cheese (mostly webkit & the
kernel to give you an idea of where the problems are) but also none of you
nutjobs understand why iOS is exploited over ten times more than Android.
Think before you respond - and don't respond without looking it up first.
