Which 0day's are current from a remote perspective? Or do you mean
protecting from a trojan app which is nigh on impossible in any
generic case?

Android security is way ahead of Iphone if your device is one that is
kept upto date by the vendor and a phones largest attack vector being
the browser is actually updateable on Android whereas on IOS it is
enforced to part of the firmware.

In fact just from an operating system point of view (kernel which
iswhat linux is and ignoring java/apps) like modern Windows it is way
more secure than Linux and I am fairly sure OSX.

True and I wouldn't use it, being very careful about security but would
