But the reason there are more attacks against Android is simple. It's orders of magnitude easier to exploit.
Very true. But the actual percentage of Android users who contract malware is less than 1% (0.01 sticks in my memory.) And almost all of those users are downloading apps from non-authorized sources. If you stick to Google Play and Amazon you're as safe as iOS. Those stores vet their apps much as Apple does.
If it helps, Android scans your device regularly and removes malware even if the app was downloaded from an unauthorized source.
Avoid the cheap Chinese knock-offs that ship without Google's software. Those are the dangerous phones.
