Here goes my sneaky plan (that worked for years) to recommend iPhones to relatives and friends so I don’t have to tech support their malware-ridden Androids (alien.top)

You can also do this on Mac and people have no issues with it. Do you tell people not to get a mac because they can download a virus by accident?

Mac marketshare is extremely low so no incentive for bad actors to work hard on it… iPhone on the other hand is best selling smart phone on the planet, so, yeah.

I don't buy this argument. None of these OSes are the biggest in their category. 8% or 29%. If someone wants their virus to target the most popular platform they will develop it for Windows and Android. MacOS and iOS will always come second.
