One of the main reasons I chose an iPhone over an Android phone was for security reasons. As I understand it, almost every manufacturer of Android based phones have their own OS incorporated and many, if not all of these, are easily hacked. Am I mistaken?
Couldn't help but notice Mr. Spoonauer focused on all the fun features and did not mention security at all. Given the current state of smartphones, which I've read are essentially tracking / spy devices the public has been persuaded to voluntarily carry, are security concerns something those-in-the-know just laugh about?

Hi, I think you have a very valid point. We report about security issues all the time with Android and Google Play store so this is worth keeping in mind when choosing a phone.
