Actually Android phones remain relatively safe to use because the browser continues to get updates (well, eventually Chrome stopped updating for Android 4.x, not sure what the oldest Android version supported is now).

An iPhone is not safe to use when it no longer gets updates because Safari doesn’t get updates.

yeah, I obviously keep all my apps up-to-date with the most recent versions. The fact that it was no longer possible is precisely what made me change my phone.

Android has auto-update for apps, although if your phone was too outdated then obviously no help. Note that sarcasm is generally unwelcome on hn (as per comments I have seen from dang).

That wasn't sarcasm, and looking back at my comment I don't really understand what could be understood as sarcasm. What did you understood when reading it ?

edit: ok, I see how it could be seen as sarcasm.
