1. Flawed Communication Protocols
This issue deals with the entire industry and affects all smartphones, regardless of manufacturer.
2. Smartphone viruses are real.
Quoting the article: "In fact, according to the National Vulnerability Database and the data in Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures of 2013, over 200 vulnerabilities were found in iOS, giving it 81 percent market share of all smartphone vulnerabilities. That’s more than Android, Windows Phone, and Blackberry combined. Don’t get me wrong: that’s not a cheap shot at Apple. The point is that every smartphone ecosystem has its problems. None are exempt no matter what anyone tells you."
3. Built-in Security Holes
"Earlier this year, Apple fell under the spotlight when a security researcher discovered an iOS security backdoor. The claim was that Apple had purposely left a hole that made it possible to pull encrypted data on demand from any iOS device. When confronted, Apple surprisingly confirmed that the backdoor existed.
The article is not targeted at Apple. It's about all smartphones. I think Apple gets named more because they are thought to be so secure. I don't doubt ApplePay will do well because most people blindly accept convenience over security, but the article makes me think much more about smartphone viruses. I noticed in AT&T's last update on my Galaxy S4, that it included an anti-virus.
