Android vs iOS: Software Updates
iPhone: Apple provides regular and long-term updates for all its devices. This ensures that even older iPhones can use the latest security features and the phone remains secure.
Android: Updates in Android depend on the manufacturer (eg Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi). Many times older phones do not get updates, which increases the security risk.
Android vs iOS: Data Encryption and Privacy
iPhone: iPhone encrypts data by default. Apple has prioritized privacy and has introduced several features to limit tracking, such as App Tracking Transparency.
Android: Android also offers data encryption, but this feature depends on the phone manufacturer and Android version. Questions often arise about privacy due to Google’s data collection.
Android vs iOS: Security of apps and store
iPhone: There is strict moderation by Apple on the App Store. Suspicious apps are quickly removed.
Android: The number of apps on Google Play Store is high, but sometimes there are reports of the presence of fake or harmful apps.
Android vs iOS: Risk of malware and cyber attack
iPhone (iOS): There is less risk of malware in iOS because it is a closed system.
Android: Being an open-source system, Android devices are more vulnerable to cyber attack and malware.(PMI)
