I'm not saying IOS devices are insecure, or that they're safe. I read elsewhere that they're safer than Android or Windows based devices. I raised the issue here because a conscientious student might wonder about it, while pondering budget for necessary and useful software purchases. I think awareness of the environment in terms of potential security risks is a good survival habit, whether with computers and devices, or in real life.
