Anti Virus Protection for iphone and android phones Why has Android AntiVirus apps while iOS does not?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and my friend has an iphoneiPhone. 

I have downloaded and installed the Norton Anti Virus app. I am at a loss to understand why an iphone OSiOS seemingly does not need protection as such. A smartphone, I have been told, is no less than a computer (even better, faster etc.), so need to be safeguarded.

Or is there another reason why iOS has no AntiVirus apps while Android does?
