Not at all. I am saying that Apple leaves you with their approved security choices ONLY and not apple lets you at least try to find your own or code them yourself.

Am I wrong?

Unless you plan on "coding your own" or "inspecting for threats" for everything on tour Android, including the full OS, then the risk of malware in the Android app space is higher than the benefit of moving from the Apple app space, in my opinion.

And as others have stated, the root of the problem is a PC running iTunes; not iOS. I have not heard if the same venerability exists on a Mac running iTunes or not.

Your fear of the NSA (which you assume you can manage to avoid on Android) opens you up to the identity thieves big time.

Yes, you are abysmally wrong. Why not Google a bit and find out before opening your mouth and proving to everyone how ignorant and deliberately so you are? You might learn something before you spread your hate and bile.
