iOS and Android will soon be fighting over which is worse [Opinions]

iOS and Android will soon be competing over which one is worse and which one has the most security vulnerabilities… Zerodium, the largest zero-day exploit acquisition company, recently announced that it is stopping acquiring iOS exploits because there are already too many. Specifically, in a post on Twitter, the company announced that it will no longer accept new vulnerability discoveries because there are already many related to iOS local privilege escalation, Safari remote code execution , and sandbox escape exploits. This news continues to raise serious concerns about the security level of Apple, which to this day is considered the most secure and reliable compared to its big competitor, Android. It is widely known that Android is an easier target for hackers, so they prefer it when they want to run a large-scale hacking campaign and collect sensitive information from many users. iOS poses a greater challenge to malicious users since Apple has fortified and protected its software more than its competitors (Sandboxing, App Review, Foolproof Facial Recognition, etc.). But the question is: Did you expect that this fortification would never "fall" or that no way and loopholes would be found that would allow hackers access to Apple's castle? Hackers - there are many out there with exceptional skills and talent. It's only a matter of time, then, until iOS becomes Android. The beginning of the end is probably signaled by the fact that there are now so many zero-day exploits that we - as ordinary users - will be informed of their existence and they will issue us a patch or update when it is too late and when the elite gets what they want. So does it matter whether we have iOS or Android at the end of the day? We are invited to their home, so we are also expected to follow the host's house rules, right? Do you think that the host doesn't know every corner of their home or can't hear us through the keyhole? Let's not forget that, in the end, every house has its windows. In the near future, many windows will open on iOS, so be sure to be very careful when using your device.
