I wonder how many more of this flops will it take for some security experts to stop recommending iPhone over Android...

For me it will take Google fixing the update situation for Android. Things would have to get quite a bit worse until I feel that a non-technical person, who does not buy a new phone at least once a year, would be safer on balance.

weird unicode text can crash your imessages - sucks.

90% of android phones not having any recent updates - big deal. [0]

I don't see any evidence in the link you posted.

And it's interesting that you bring Samsung that for 3 years issued patches every single month for my old Note 4. You may not get latest and greatest Android version immediately (missing the essential "hamburger emoji fix") but you'll still get security updates.
