It makes no sense to single out Apple, as that would simply push bad actors to other platforms, which will happen anyway, as is obvious to any security professional.

Except it does, or why else would they do it?

Android doesn’t really have an equivalent to iCloud direct from Google. It doesn’t have iMessage (which is technically encrypted, though with issues).

Android doesn’t have a full backup system like iOS. It doesn’t automatically sync to a cloud like iOS, etc, etc.

Its just not the same. Grab any Android phone, and the mix of messengers for sms alone is vastly different. Not to mention all the other messengers.

It’s a lot easier to gather a lot of info from a lot of people by first attacking iOS. It’s kind of the opposite of virus/malware.

Facebook and security? That’s a joke, right?
