As Covid-19 is rapidly growing and spreading throughout the U.S., many businesses and people are taking precautions, practicing social distancing and safe habits. With that being said, I haven't been able to sit in the pool area due to the closure of my apartment's amenities, but as soon as it's open and safe, I will incorporate some photos within the next few posts.
Today, I want to briefly tap into a question I received via an Instagram DM, "Do you think I should get an iPhone because I have been thinking of changing from Samsung?" One thing I want to point out is that it's important to be unbiased when addressing users' needs. I once owned an Android in middle school as well as a Blackberry. At one point of time, I wasn't too pressed on keeping up with the latest trends or staying up to date with the latest technologies. In this day of age, my perspective has changed tremendously.
Either via ToBeSecured or a blog post, I released a post about how Androids won't be releasing new updates going forward. With that being said, Apple will dominate as it's already a popular tech company that has the best operating system. This isn't a biased statement; this is a fact that can be backed up with facts.
Here are some reasons as to why you should ditch your Android:
1.) Securing your Information
Information security companies unanimously agree that Apple devices are more secure than Android devices. According to a report by Forbes, 97% of smartphone malware targets Android phones. Android phones get malware and viruses particularly from app stores. Apple is very careful with selecting which app developers gain access to the so-called Apple ecosystem – a network of devices, apps and developers.
In comparison, Google’s app store, Google Play, is an ad-supported and free environment where anyone can put their apps on display. Android allows the user to install apps from outside the Google Play store as well – making it impossible to monitor apps possibly containing malware and viruses.
2.) Ease of use
Apple phones are known for their ease of use. Their usability comes from simple operating logic: all the apps are launched from the home screen. All the settings, for example, can be found under one menu. And even if you upgrade your iPhone to the newest model, the operating system still works the same way and taking it into use is easy.
3.) Get the best apps 1st
The developers of the best and highest quality apps still favour Apple. Most apps use Apple’s App Store as their launch platform and release their apps there much earlier than they do in the Android phones’ Google Play store. This has been the case with some of your most favorite apps of recent years, such as Super Mario Run and Snapchat.
4.) Apple Pay
Apple Pay is Apple’s payment service, which enables making credit and debit card payments using your phone. Paying works the same way as contactless payment with a plastic card, i.e., by placing the phone by the card reader. The card is protected with Face ID, Touch ID or the phone’s passcode, which let you keep your payment information safe.
5.) Family Sharing
The Apple iPhone is a good choice for children, especially if the entire family is using Apple devices and phones. Phone use is safe because parents can easily keep track of what their children are doing with their phones.
Up to six family members can make, for example, shared music, film or app purchases and share photo albums, calendars and reminders. There is no risk of children downloading inappropriate or paid apps, as Family Sharing enables parental approval for their children’s apps.
