There was a theory floating around once that they were. They aren't. It's just that hacking is different for the OS and most hackers go with the most popular OS. Also my gf uses Apple and her parents use Apples. I hear that they replace them quite often. The only Apple product I've owned was an iPhone. It was free. I'm not impressed. If I could afford it I'd go back to android. I'm sure there must be something good about Apple other than brilliant marketing.
