Are you kidding? It's like every other day we hear about a new Android exploit or security flaw. At least Apple is committed to strong encryption and privacy. The OS - and the hardware integration - is an enormous selling point to me. As much as I oppose Apple's direction as of late for many business decisions (iPhone 7 headphone jack for example), the reasons stated above are why I still cannot see myself switching.
- awjr 9y agoAndroid enables you to install apps from 3rd party stores and specifically warns people about being careful about doing this. It is not so much that Android has more exploits, but that it is more exploitable if you choose it to be.
- endorphone 9y agoIt's like every other day we hear about a new Android exploit or security flaw Aside from the absurd exaggeration, you're vulnerable to clickbait journalism. Extraordinarily few of those "exploits or security flaw"s had any material impact on the market at all, seldom having a practical or real world exploit. Instead it's a theoretical by some security group looking for some free press. They're a couple of good platforms. Rhetoric online isn't useful.
