Email anxiety and iPhone security meme

I dont know why I check my email several times a day on a week-end when I'm otherwise not getting any email. I was just hoping to get some email. Since I emailed someone the day before. Though I think that's one of the things that causes me anxiety. I thought of downloading the email app again so that I'm notified so I dont have to check it frequently to stay on top of email, because sometimes I do have to stay on top of it. Though today is not the day so it's just causing me stress. The reason I no longer had the app on my phone was because I was worried my iPhone had been infected. 

I phone security is a meme. They're really no more secure than an Android device. In fact, anything running an operating system of some kind is vulnerable. People get a false sense of security with Apple devices. I'm not sure if it's some kind of marketing hype that people that arent tech savvy get sucked into, it probably is. People in general are gullible because they dont care to think and consider what they hear, like the source of it. 

Id like to look into the Apple iOS security meme. I'm kind of curious.

About all I like about my iPhone is the build quality, the camera and the screen. Other than that I dont use it much for the smart phone features since I'm not good at using smart phones. I've only been using a smart phone for the past 3 or so years because before that smart phones were too expensive. Most of my smart phones were second hand. 

I'm probably going to have to replace my iPhone because I think the speaker got damaged from when I had mineral oil in my ears. Apple tech support is dog shit so Id probably have to replace the phone. A lot of people I have a hard time hearing them unless the phone is on speaker. I'll probably switch to a Google Pixel when ever I can afford it. 

There's certain things about iOS I didnt like. Those things are most of the apps in the appstore wanting a subscription, just to use the app. Apple's tech support, which were of no help at all when i was concerned my phone got hacked. they actually were really rude and when I actually talked to them through text they didnt seem like they knew what they were doing. 

I cant flash the phone because of the locked down nature of iPhones. On android devices I can flash the phone with a different ROM if i want and I can flash the phone with the original operating system if i want through the companies software. On Apple you cant do that apparently. 

Even when I use the restore feature or whatever it was on my iPhone the strange behaviour persisted so apparently it wasnt totally wiped. The only way I could probably is going to a "genius bar" to get my phone looked at. But judging by how the people on Apple's tech support lines behave I'm not sure that would be any help. More like "idiot bar" if you ask me.
