Reasons Why iPhones are a better option over Android Devices:

A few years from now, when we shall look back at this decade in terms of technological advances, we shall remember it as the era when Android and iOS went against each other in a competition that span over a billion users and devices. As users, we are always curious to know the ideal mobile Operating System, and yet, given the pros and cons of both, unable to make a decision when it comes to opting one, since the line dividing the two Operating Systems is way too narrow. However, as it turns out, it isn’t that narrow after all. Recent trends suggest that iPhone is doing much better than Android, and in this article, we shall understand how is it happening.

Security, the first aspect which makes iPhones better than Androids. According to a study, it has been seen that Android users are more exposed to malware, as compared to the ones using iOS Devices. This is because the Android users never bother to update their devices, and a majority of them, continue to use the Gingerbread version which came over two years ago. However, users quickly update to the latest iOS version, thus saving themselves a world of pain from malware attacks. Alongside, it has been seen that is way too easy to break into Android devices through malware attacks, and this is when compared against Blackberry, Windows, etc. (If anyone still uses them.)

In terms or privacy, iPhones beat the Android devices easily. While brute-forcing the passwords by hackers is a ruled out option in iOS, given the device shuts down forever, Apple has added a ton of other features, one of them being the encryption in iMessage to safeguard users’ data and privacy. In a recent conclave, it was concluded by experts that Apple itself cannot break into an iOS device that came after iPhone 5S, as the privacy measures are designed to withstand every threat. Android, on the other hand as a lot of catching up to do when it comes to securing the privacy of its users.

Apple’s pro-privacy behavior also helps the faith of its users. While refusing the FBI to unlock an iPhone device that would have required an extensive program, Apple made it clear that it wasn’t willing to release any software or program in the market that would leave its users vulnerable to attacks, in an event where the program falls into lost hands. The FBI fought a long hard case, but with no result. Given Apple’s take on users’ privacy, it does surpass every effort ever made by Android.

However, is Android a complete waste of your time and money? Turns out, it’s not. While iOS is also termed as a walled garden, given the limitations when it comes to customizing user experience, Android offers tons of options for you have a better interface experience. Alongside, the number of applications offered within the Android framework are way greater than those offered in iOS. As both Operating Systems battle it out in terms of user numbers, application trends, and growth, it is safe to assume that the competition is only going to get interesting as the time passes. However, for now, one can assume that iOS has an edge over Android, given its measures on security and privacy.
