Software from unknown sources can have malicious code. But, even if it doesn’t, it can update itself with malware later. The lack of curation leaves the Android ecosystem with millions of garbage apps riddled with bugs and malware. The easiest way to sift through all the crap is to only install apps that have iOS versions.
I trust myself to not enable unknown sources. I trust myself to only install reliable appe as I did for years before switching to the iPhone (owned the G1). But I do not trust children. I do not trust family members and friends. And I don’t have the patience to fix their crappy android phones after they install garbage from the Google Play store.
Also, I would rather use a device that is supported with security updates for years instead of months.
