Security |
Android software patches are available earliest to
Nexus users. Other manufacturers tend to lag in pushing out updates. As a
result, most Android devices don’t run on updated or fully-patched software
at any given point in time. |
Most users don’t encounter a problem with malware
because they don’t go outside the App Store for buying apps. Apple's software
updates are also available for older iOS devices. |
|

While Android devices are not on par with Apple devices in terms of
enhanced user experience, it is ahead on certain aspects such as AR and VR. |
Apple wins in terms of ease of use and design. However, it has been
slow in AR. |
