   We've covered this topic before so for those with an open mind, the iPhone   
   is no more secure than any other phone, which has been proven many times.   
      
   The only difference is that Apple brilliantly markets the iPhone as "safe".   
      
   Unfortunately, the vast majority of people don't have the educational   
   background or intelligence to separate brilliant marketing from the truth.   
      
   No consumer phone is "safe" and neither is safer than the other.   
   They're different. But both are extremely easily hacked by malefactors.   
      
   Android, when hardened, is vastly safer than iOS ever could be; but that's   
   not useful for most people who don't have a clue how to harden any phone.   
      
   It's actually a nice thing though, that Apple's brilliant marketing has   
   used 'safety' as the reason they locked the iPhone users into a prison.   
      
   I've observed that iPhone owners, as a rule, "feel safer" when they're told   
   by Apple's brilliant marketing that they lost functionality "for their   
   safety", but Google's project zero & other efforts prove that to be a lie.   
      
   We have covered this in gory detail so I'll just reference solid evidence.

   Those threads were researched so that this endless discussion of the myths   
   that the iPhone is somehow (magically?) safer, could be put to rest.   
   --   
   Only one in a million people truly understand heavily marketed products.
