This ability to update every Android 10+ device every month over the

The lack of widespread iOS exploits in the wild says Apple is doing a
good job.

Hi Tom Elam,

Part of being an adult on this ng is knowing what the truth is about Apple.

Since Chris was able to discuss Apple products like an adult, I am
hopefully expecting you to also be capable of discussing topics similarly.

Are you aware that reliable government figures published daily of all the
known iOS exploits in the wild are literally 1-1/2 times that of Android?

You can check for yourself if you're interested in accurate data.

1) Go to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog:
https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog
Download the CSV version (there is a link near the top).

2) Open in a spreadsheet
Use Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets.
The CSV has columns like Vendor, Product, and Vulnerability Name.

3) Filter by vendor
Filter rows where Vendor contains "Apple" (this includes iOS,
iPadOS, macOS).
Filter separately for "Google" and any vendors that list
"Android" in the Product field. Some Android vulnerabilities are
listed under chipset makers like Qualcomm or MediaTek, so include
those if you want an "all Android" comparison.

4) Count and compare
Count the Apple rows.
Count the Android-related rows.
Divide Apple's count by Android's count to get the ratio.

Let us know what you find out as we've all run that test in the past.
