Oh look Apple devices were hacked again. Security through obscurity isnt really working out. Their big cash apparently isnt enough.
I have sensitive data on my phone that I must carry around, and there is no way I'd ever keep it on an iphone. 'Pegasus' was the moment corporations and governments should have banned iphones for their terrible security.
Are you somehow under the impression that Android devices aren't hacked as well?
Of course Android phones are hacked as well
But a hack on my Andriod device might, or might not, work on your Android device
Not so much iPhones. Some difference between versions, but pretty much a monoculture
Pegasus exploited both iOS and Android, not just iOS.
Closed source doesn't imply security through obscurity. Any operating system, closed or open, can be vulnerable. iOS is a big, relevant target, and obviously a lack of publicity/quantity of commercial exploits against AOSP and Desktop Linux doesn't necessarily mean good security.
