That's dead wrong.

Nope, it's correct.

There have been *plenty* of zero-day zero-click no-interaction holes
in Apple's operating systems

There have been plenty of zero days in *all* operating systems, "Sten"
(Arlen), yet you constantly ignore everything but Apple zero days,
because: troll. Also, the overwhelming majority of zero days are
discovered by security researchers in labs rather than in the wild, and
they are more often than not patched in the latest OS release. So
keeping your devices up to date (one of the safe computing best
practices I mentioned) is the best defense against them.
