| Android I Worse And More Dangerous Than Iphone For One Scary Reason, Apple Boss Reveals |
| 2021-06-19 |
| APPLE boss Tim Cook has made a subtle dig at Google, claiming that the firm's Android operating system is littered with dodgy software. In an interview yesterday, the 60-year-old said that Android has almost 50 times more malware than iOS, the operating system that powers the iPhone. He suggested that this gap is due to the robust protections that Apple employs to shield its users from hackers. "Android has 47 times more malware than iOS does," Cook said at the VivaTech conference, one of Europe's biggest startup and tech events. "Why is that? It's because we've designed iOS in such a way that there's one ‌App Store‌ and all of the apps are reviewed prior to going on the store. "That keeps a lot of this malware stuff out of our ecosystem." |

| #5 So I'm sitting at my computer last night and I get an e-mail telling me that my phone battery is about to run out and this message is coming from my phone (Samsung) security APP I installed. |

| #4 He means that only Apple Approved malware runs on the iphone. Where anything can be run on an android. Google is far more 'woke' than Apple. I use both and I view Apple as generally more 'secure' than Android but Android is more 'open'. Apple did make that notification/opt-in change (i believe for tracking cookies) that has Big Tech so pissed off. Apple has resisted demands from the Government to 'unlock' phones. |

| #3 Suggested malware may simply be hookware for in-app purchases. What is the Apple Tax and Why is it Under Investigation? |

| #1 IIRC, the iPhones are assembled in China. No worries about hardware being compromised there right Tim? |
