        Anonymous, 21 Sep 2015How about Stagefright and the new Ghost Push bug on Android... moreYou Apple Fanboys just make fun of Android and Other OSs as if you are the most perfect smartphone users in this world!! Please understand that no OS is perfect in this world and this is the best example that Apple can ever get!! Even if Android is having Stagefright or whatever names they are being called, no Android user has ever reported any security issues or attacks relating to it. And for your kind information, fixes were rolled out to all stock Android devicse a week before and other current Android based devices are getting it..

But even as you say so, no people have had any credit card information theft or any sort of considerable attacks on Android!! I was trying to educate ignorant people that even Apple is prone to attacks just like all other OS.. Just take some precautions instead of blindly believing in anything.

Old or new, Apple charges bulk of fortune to people owning those iphones and it is correct for it to be responsible for those past sales which act as the stimulant for more powerful iphones with superior tech to even be produced.

How dare you expect to be at the cutting edge with your old tech? hmmm? They dont have a right to complain. Atleast Apple doesnt forget about them and still pushes out updates to their older devices.

                            LOL!!! This is the biggest joke that I have ever come across in technology world!! The medias earlier said that Android is a vulnerable OS prone to hacking, malware and flaws and Apple is the most secure OS that provides its users the best in class security as its a closed OS. Now see what has happened!!! The alleged Android OS has never been attacked this hard and the most secure and advanced Apple ecosystem as its proud fanboys or users boast about is infected with several malware in its app store as well as, log in names and passwords of more than 225,000 people were stolen by hackers in China!!! Thus we understand that no OS is perfect or highly secure in this world.

                              Aside from China being the international hub of Malware, this is how you deal with it, in a few days, Android should learn a lesson, with their thousands of malware ridden apps still floating around the Playstore with noone carinf to take care of it.
