   You gave away all your hardware & software freedom of action to buy into a   
   system so closed it is surrounded by barbed wire, for what? Security right?   
      
   And yet, iOS is no more secure than Android, and in many ways less secure.   
   Why?   
      
   HINT: The reason Apple locked up iOS is not for security after all, Tom.
