I was in a computer store a few years ago watching a young guy trying to sell a tablet to an older woman. He said "the good news about this is that it can't get viruses because it runs apps".

everyone knows viruses are allergic to apps

Ill bet anything they laughed about that in the breakroom

I'd bet they believed it themselves.

If you assume that she will only install official apps, that they are sandboxed and Apple doesn't allow viruses in App Store apps, then that statement seems fine to me.

Every networked computer has some risk of getting a viris of course.
