Isn't it true, with any tech product, the more complex features, the less secure it is? Ask yourself why this is the case, and I believe the true issue with tech lays there.To a degree, this is true. But there are more iOS devices out there than there are Windows boxes, and while iOS certainly isn't perfect, it definitely has a much better security posture.
Note that most of iOS's improved security posture is due to its design as a launcher of apps from a tightly controlled source that tightly control the user experience. It's pretty damned easy to harden Windows as well, if you're going to hobble it into being a canned app launcher. Of course, that will piss off everybody who's using Windows as a base for a generalized computing environment rather than an app-launching kiosk,
