You can't seriously tell iOS is not entirely closed just because they release source for two components under GPL. If they were able to stop using this GPL-ed close they certainly would.

Apple even stripped most of iOS related code for their MacOS open source drops. E.g they only recently started to release XNU source with code for iOS.

Two components? Darwin is a relatively big component.

But as far as Android.... https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/googles-iron-grip-on...
