I wonder if the daily HN article about Apple failing to be secure is a result of 1 OS, 1 phone. Where as no one is going to put the effort to find an exploit on a phone with 1% market share.
Similar question for desktops.
The main difference between the two I have seen is ios users get an update that fixes the issue often after their device has stopped getting feature updates while many android users are on kernels that haven't received an update in the last few years.
It was fantastic; I got a whole year of not being able to see work emails after I went home, and then they let us opt out of the invasive MDM software that they wanted to put on Android phones to let them access corporate email. All for a bug that my phone wasn't even vulnerable to.
By the time I left, I had gone 4 years without ever responding to unexpected evening emails. And now that I know it's possible, I'm never going back! :)
Although none of those are recent like daily security flaws we see on HN.
