Like the parent said Ubuntu has horrible security. It would be better to just not buy a phone line for the iphone if you don't want phone calls or texts.

It hasn't, security isn't just technical features but a social contract.

Even on an iPhone without a sim card, they can download one of the scam casino games from the appstore and give away a lot of money, on Ubuntu they can't do that.

There's more to security than just bytes.

The threats to your average user isn't a bootloader exploit built by some Israeli firm but privacy breaches, social engineering and scams.
