iOS exploits are paying less than Android - http://zerodium.com/program.html.

Based on supply and demand it would appear that iOS is less secure right?




True, and many many good researchers boast the Android security compared to iOS, thanks to Google and Samsung (mostly) since many years now (https://onezero.medium.com/is-android-getting-safer-than-ios...).

But as a *platform* I am intimately convinced that iOS is far more secure than Android... I agree that a few apps have been authorised by Apple to be published on the App Store, but when it happens to the Play Store it is not only one or two apps... it is mostly 5 to 10 apps developed by the same developer and which contain *the same* flaws.

Also, as demonstrated AdGuard a few years now (https://adguard.com/en/blog/popular-android-apps-are-stealin...), it is way easier to extract user informations from random apps on Android than iOS. However the Android API has been improved since two years now (and Android 12 is better than ever to secure user informations).
