[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1117997, member: 114717"] That is your personal preference. The entire point of the Apple ecosystem is to act as a strict gatekeeper and stop "users that want to use stuff" shooting themselves in the foot. For that reason, Apple phones qualify for official use in sensitive government programs whereas Android phones are prohibited. Apple mobile phones, because of proper security design, pass national security requirements whereas Android does not. Android is better than iOS in some things. iOS is better than Android in some things. It is a matter of personal preference, but overall, iOS has optimized and more effective security than Android. "Lazy, old people" reach for a non-smart flip phone because they use a phone to make phone calls, and not stream the latest episode of Skibidi Toilet or Squid Game. Gecko made a few billion Euros using a plain old telephone system (POTS) flip-phone. He was old. The phone itself is just a tool. In the agency and programs, issued iOS phone users are able to do everything that is required. So no limitations as far as work and productivity. However, they are not authorized to game or use the devices for entertainment purposes. The vast majority of iPhone users are under the age of 30. That cohort is tech-savvy, but not cybersecurity savvy. As for the "old" people who don't have to do anything because Apple does it for them, well that is testament to Apple's superior design and usability - making Apple one of the most profitable companies in history. Apple keeps it simple by not making the device user think. That is superior overall engineering. The quality of Android apps is not the issue. It is the security of the Android app ecosystem that is poisoned. Always has been. Always will be. 83% of mobile phone malicious campaigns are targeted, and successful, on Android devices. This is not correct. Android security updates still remain the choice of the OEM; Google does not have access to every Android phone since Marshmallow. The OEM has to utilize a chipset supported by the Google GRF program, which provides only 7 years of updates. Google never has provided perpetual security updates whereas Apple always has. Android apps - not the underlying Android OS - can be enrolled in automatic updates via the Google Play Store. Actually not true. The iPhone 6 that I have that is 11 years old is not noticeably slower than it was years ago. But don't take my word for it. There are millions of Apple phone users that have never complained about iOS feature updates slowing down their old mobile devices because the new iOS updates were consuming system resources. That is not really about security. It is about resistance to law enforcement access. The author of the article, Richard Priday, never stated that Android are more secure than iOS. It is not the only way to hack Android (or iOS or Linux phones for that matter). But it is exactly what millions of Android mobile phone device owners and users do daily because the Android ecosystem permits them to do it. The Apple ecosystem does not. The Android and Android app ecosystems are under constant, massive attack because that system inherently is seriously flawed just like Google's browser extension ecosystem. Sensor-based statistics show that Android phones have an infection level that is 8.3 times greater than Windows PCs. [/QUOTE]
