Aren’t their devices the most secure on the mass market?
More than non-obscure phones, laptops, desktops… washing machines, robot vacuums, doorbells, you name it

Also just because others are not great, doesn't excuse Apple from being very much negligent.
I know many people who bought Apple products specifically because of the myth that they are secure. They were in fact mis sold. There is common thinking that no anti virus software = no viruses = secure among non technical crowd.
Except for withholding iOS 18 security fixes when public exploits are fixed in iOS 26.
iPhones are still the least bad option, for regular people who aren't planning to solder anything, select their boot loader on launch, or recompile a kernel.
