In contrast, Android’s openness allows users to install apps from various sources, and updates are often rolled out at different times, making it more vulnerable to attacks. However, iPhones aren’t immune to security flaws. Hackers occasionally find ways to exploit them, as seen in Apple’s latest advisory. The company recently discovered that a vulnerability in iOS had been exploited for over a year.
