FACT:
*iOS has more than twice as many security holes as Android*

FACT
*iOS has over ten times the number of active exploits!*

Much of which is due to Apple's lack of support for older iOS releases.

Given iOS has the shortest support lifecycle of all smartphone
operating systems, there's a good reason these are the facts:

Learn the difference.
