I use ChromeOS for all of my web browsing needs. From Zoom calls to YouTube channel management; from social media posting to content creation, ChromeOS is my browser of choice. The only time I don't use ChromeOS is if I need to keep a personal login separate from a professional account (for example, Canva). I use ChromeOS for my professional Canva account and a different browser for my personal account.

iOS works well when you want solid control over institutionally-owned devices. This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it]. There is a wide variety of management tools, but bear the costs of each in mind.

  • Replacing the battery is hard and shouldn't be.
  • I know it is for security, but the ability to remote control iOS and help users would be great.
  • Security can be tight with the iCloud and passcodes and you can brick a phone if you are not careful.

Usability

For everyday surfing the web and checking emails, ChromeOS excels. You won't start seeing ChromeOS slowing down until you start using tools that require more GPU (coding, rendering videos, AI, etc.).

In all likelihood, common users will either already have experience with iOS on their iPhones, or will pick it up quickly. The UI is generally simple and mostly visual. Power users, on the other hand, may feel constrained by the inherent limitations built-in. Root access, terminal commands, and deep customization are not really to be found here.

Lots of help articles online for just about everything under the sun. I have never personally had to engage Apple's support team to comment on their helpfulness.

ChromeOS is just as good as Windows. I feel it can be better sometimes because it starts up faster and more efficiently. I like how all the programs have similar interfaces and are easy to learn. There are less issues with ChromeOS than there are with Windows. And security is much tighter.

The software updates have a wide coverage for iPhone models and I love updating software for additional features and/or improved software stability. It has also genuine feel of the phones they offer. Easier to set up and use. It helps me do more productive tasks. If I have the latest phone model, I would have additional software advantages that are already included in my OS.

  • Positive: Easy to manage UI/OS

Apple
  • Positive as far as cellular usage, phone tracking, and security for our users.
  • Negative as far as battery replacement on older phones.
  • Costs would be similar to android phones so security/simplicity is our main point here.
