I thought the point was people running outdated, non updated OS's are at risk from security issues, , so how is getting an iPhone 4 with its unsupported OS a good option for security?
If you guys are talking about me, I'm pretty sure I said 4S. Anyway, buying used is just my MO. It's an especially good option with Apple gear since they keep the older stuff updated for several years. But, Do whatever you want. If that's using a droid, good for you. I'm not going to judge :smokey:

I talked about how cheaply you could get a 4, 4s or 5. Way to go trolling around cherry picking the facts and ignoring the entirety of the post. Do you really believe that an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 is less secure than an Android with the numerous issues that constantly crop up? There are still many millions of iPhone 4's out in the wild. Have you seen any articles about huge exploits being found in their OS?

The whole argument that everyone anti-android on this site bleats on again is that about is with Android no one upgrades to the latest version. The only way of getting fixes for iOS is to download the entire OS, with Android the individual applications are updated separately. Yes, I think using an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 is not secure.

Uh, one of my family is still using an iPhone 4. And before that, she was on the 3GS for many years. No security issues. In fact, I still have an old PowerBook wallstreet with OS 9 that I occasionally boot and surf the
Web and check email with. That OS hasn't been supported for over a decade. No security issues. Stability issues but I have yet to encounter any security issues.
The age of a device has nothing to do with security. Some platforms are built with security in mind and others built for convenience and ease of use.
I would still rather have an iPhone 4 with disk encryption enabled than the majority of Android devices available on the market. In fact, the phone 4 doesn't even have the fingerprint reader and therefore even more secure as someone could force me to place my finger on a newer model iPhone and unlock it.
Show me a compromised iPhone 4 that has not been jail broken and I will believe you. Until then, iOS in any flavor is still more secure than Android. And with Google constantly collecting information on individual users, the platform is insecure by default. It may be their business model, but I don't have to be a part of it.

Show me a compromised Android phone, and no, not some random internet article, show me one.
