All you Apple trolls always claim to be completely ignorant of everything.

Your claim that the only thing that matters for secureity is
malware, is so absurd, that I have to wonder why you can't comprehend that
I never disagreed with you on that topic.

Your repeated ridiculous claim that the only thiung that matters for
security is malware, is so absurd, that you lose credibility for harping on somethin that nobody disagree with, which is that one link of the chain of security, iOS wins on.

I don't even need to read your malware statistics. I know what they are. Score one point for iOS. Whoopie doo.

Google already publicy proved Apple has never tested much of iOS.
And Apple did NOT disputge it.

All Apple did was aski Google not to be so public about the fact.
That's it.

We discussed that topic so many times, I'm tired of discussing it.
If you claim to be ignorant of that topic, then that proves me right.

All you Apple trolls always claim to be completely ignorant of everything.

And as far as Android doing things iOS cannot... sure. Discussed. But you
avoid the things iOS does better than Android:

Heh heh heh.

All you Apple trolls always claim to be completely ignorant of everything.

You forget, I use iOS every day. As I use Android every day.
I know what each can do.
And, I know what each can't do.

There's NOTHING (but one thing) iOS can do that Android doesn't do.

In fact, we have a 300-post thread showing there is only one thing iOS can do that Android can't do and that's the use by apps of privileged ports.

The topic has come up so many times I'm sick of disporving all the bullshit that becausez Apple advertises product X and Android just takes it for granted, that this means Android doesn't have product X.

Again, not only is your argument absurd, but we beat it to death long ago.
Do NOT respond to this post until you read the entirety of that thread.
I spant probably a full working week (40 hours) responding in that thread.

I'm not doing it again simply because you're too ignorant to read first.
Read it. Then respond.

I do not know Android well, so if I am wrong about some of those please
correct me and show evidence.

All you Apple trolls always claim to be completely ignorant of everything.
I easily spent 40 hours writing up all the rebuttals to that bullshit.

Read that *before* you respond please. No sense proving it again and again. All you Apple trolls always claim to be completely ignorant of everything.

Read it. We proved there is nothing but one thing only.

Unless you can bring up something that was NOT discussed in that long thgread, then all you're doing is proving that you're ignorant.

Don't do that.

All you Apple trolls always claim to be completely ignorant of everything.

Yes we do and now shut up, antisocial idiot!

You were expecting facts

If you ever wonder how I know Apple trolls are uneducated & of low IQ...

It's telling that I referenced appleinsider.com, 9to5mac.com, cnet.com, and techrepublic.com in addition to androidauthority.com, all of whom are reputable, and yet....

The only "excuse" to deny all facts about Apple you hate (which is all
facts about Apple) is to claim that you don't like one of the sources???

What kind of strange uneducated ignorant misguided person does that?

You make claims you cannot back and run from facts.
