That is extremely unlikely, however I never said iOS was flawless, I said it's more secure.

But what do you base that on though, if its the fact that you can only download things from the appstore then you can also do that on android, where you have the option to toggle on/off an option called "download from trusted sources only"

Apple is becoming so secure that jailbreaking is almost obsolete, and that is saying something.

That option is only on macOS, this thread is based on iOS.

 

I'm mainly talking about browsers and what apps can actually control on your device.

If you get a virus on your browser on android, you are most likely in deep doodoo until you find a way to get rid of it as it's open source like windows and windows is vulnerable as heck. Your computer will die with a simple deletion of one folder. macOS on the other hand does not allow you to delete or config those critical files unless an authorized Apple tech. Yes'm, this went off topic a bit but I was explaining the security feature between open and closed source.

 

iOS is closed source so not many people attempt to make exploits that grab info as people do to open source systems.

 

 

Yes, Samsung is good for if you like having more "open area" for apps, but if you want to use something that is a lot more secure then Apple is your system. Security is worth the price.

Lmao don't get me wrong I prefer an iPhone at all times but you gotta ask yourself why iOS is so "secure".

The main reason is simple: You can't download anything through Safari [or any other browser]. So yes, this means you can't just download a virus from a fishy website, but this also means you can't download anything at all through your browser, like nothing. My friends who don't have an iPhone can download applications that are not even in the play store that they're downloaded somewhere from the internet. I couldn't even download a YouTube video with my iPhone which really sucks. Saying that iOS is better only because it's "more secure" seems somewhat wrong to me lmao.

Yeah no, windows is not open source.

I don't think you're qualified to talk about security, let alone let that base your argument on why iOS is better.

 

You're like that kid who learns a new buzz word (open/closed source) and then goes to school just to impulsively drop said buzzwords everywhere. If your only argument is security then you don't actually have any rationale as to why either iOS would be better than {insert OS here}. You'll probably do some google research before responding to this, but my point was already proven by all your silly little posts in this thread thus far.
