I have a hard time believing the ‘since’ part of that description. Intuition suggests the latest iPhone would take that crown each year.

Apple continuously patches zero-day kernel exploits against the latest iOS and hardware, https://support.apple.com/en-us/100100

Sure, but there are many more people looking at iPhone security than at Xboxes. The incentives, both monetary and otherwise, are much greater with iPhones than they ever were with consoles.

That is far from the only thing that would be relevant for such a metric. (For one thing, you also have to ask which kernel.)

[walterbell]

iPhone and iPad devices have been breached by zero-days for years, unlike Xbox One.

[anyfoo]

Still simplistic. "Breached" can mean a number of things, and the incentives here are very different.

[walterbell]

Breached = remote control of device, bypass all vendor and owner security policy, and exfiltration of non-public data.

[anyfoo]

And that was achieved?

Misremembered, it was saying it was the most secure code Microsoft has written, not anyone
