Liar.To get something like that on an Android device one needs to:
- uncheck the Google Play Services apps verification (enabled by default)
- enable installation from unknown sources (disabled by default)
- unlock bootloader or use another exploit to root phone
- allow all the permissions by the malware app
- install said app
Looks like getting malware on an iOS device takes fewer steps. All in the name of customiz-ability (sic!), which is possible in Android without any of these mentioned steps, by default!
Not a single legit device got a virus, only the jailbroken ones. you're reaching.Not possible... I've heard that iProducts dont get viruses etc! Apparently, they just work....
Somewhere between 2-6% of all iPhone users jailbreak their phones because iOS lacks so much functionality. Compare that to around 1% of Android users rooting their phones (which is a much simpler task if you feel the need for it).Not a single legit device got a virus, only the jailbroken ones. you're reaching.
Name-calling has always been the prerogative of the most educated. /sLiar.
iOS is more secure than Android. A simple fact that you apparently can't deal with.
Lol, here we go again. You do realize that those steps you just described above is what jail breaking actually does right? It is the main reason that allow of security conscious people don't jailbreak due to the risks involved. Same risks that you agree to when you make the changes you mentioned on your Android phone.To get something like that on an Android device one needs to:

Lol, here we go again. You do realize the step you described above is exactly what jail breaking does right. This is one of the reasons why security conscious users do not jailbreak or root their phones. It opens you up to an environment where applications that do not have to go through the same checks for security and functionality are able to be installed on your phone. Especially now that phones have a large amount if very personal information on this is not a good thing to do.To get something like that on an Android device one needs to:

You kind stepped in something on this one. 2-6% of IOS devices jailbroken is a much smaller number than 1% of Android devices rooted due to Android running on over 3997 different devices many of which are running on dated versions of the OS with no ability to upgrade.Somewhere between 2-6% of all iPhone users jailbreak their phones because iOS lacks so much functionality.

I'd say jailbroken iPhones are very legit iterations of iOS, seeing how common it is.
Office Space....it redirects the ad-click micropayment (a tiny fraction of a cent) that takes place every time a user of an infected device clicks on an ad in an app or on a website.
Certain people deserve respect. Trolls like you who lie, don't.Name-calling has always been the prerogative of the most educated. /sLiar.

I was merely stating facts there. Apparently, the chip on your shoulder can be seen from the Moon.
Maybe you should stick to being a cop in South Park.... Get it?
