It's not a non-issue: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Malware_for_iOS

The store rules and moderation is a bit stricter, do that may be one reason we hear less about iOS malware. But it's still out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the iOS sandbox also seems weaker - I've seen a few occasions in which calling undocumented functions can be all it takes to bypass protections significantly. I assume this is part of the reason Apple is so reliant on reviews.
