The set-top box market has been ticking along nicely for quite some time. There's always been plenty of options for consumers in that particular space, but no-one seemed to actually put the time, effort, and resources into producing something that blew the market away, cementing itself as the de-facto choice in the process.

With that said, as a mobile platform, iOS is seemingly a lot more secure than the competition, and has historically only come under attack if the device is actually jailbroken, meaning when it has been liberated from the security of Apple's walled garden. Unfortunately, that may no longer be the case thanks to a new strain of malware known as YiSpecter, which has been discovered to attack non-jailbroken iOS devices.
