While the fruit company fans are stuck at the mercy of Apple being the owners of iOS software and the Apple devices, the folks running the Android operating systems have it a bit different. Due to Android being owned by Google and Android running on smartphones that are all manufactured by a range of companies that are not Google owned, the manufacturers have no say in how tight they get to have the security. In other words, for as long as Google want people to be able to root the Android operating system they will be able to, and that is what makes Android so great.
