    but there isnt any at the moment so it is super safe to surf the web on it, same for on android and any other mobile OS.

    the only thing you can become a cropper to is phishing but common sense can protect you from that.

    The only iOS viruses I've heard of have been on jailbroken devices since that circumvents Apple's tight controls on installing software and leaves them more open to attack.
