Considered Both Products	iOS Verified User Team Lead Chose iOS It isn't customizable as such like Android, and I have a set field to play. Yet, that is anything but a central motivation to hate this OS. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose iOS iOS is way beyond Android in terms of centralized management. It is way more fleshed out in terms of features, and Android management has all but been abandoned at this point. iOS is still behind Chrome OS, particularly in an educational setting, but there are genuine tradeoffs … Incentivized Helpful? Derek Benson IT, Network Administrator Chose iOS I would rate Android and iOS equally, but for our business iOS seems to be better suited to the client base who are more familiar with it already (via personal devices.) Incentivized Helpful? Nathanael Tanguilig Solutions Engineer Chose iOS 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Mike Bursack Technical Operations Manager Chose iOS Android is good more most people and is widely used by home users. iOS does seem more business orientated and professional. By this I mean the single button and apps are kept simple and to the point for business users. I do use this for home use as well and have had no … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose iOS The biggest issue is that iOS protects you well above Android. Android is known for getting infected as its OS is not developed the same way as Apple's. Apple has a strong security model and has shown that it can fight off any known hacker and/or virus files. iOS is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose iOS Although I have tinkered with an Android device, its operating system was much more complex and harder to work with. Many times, carriers bundle their own settings apps, which can confuse the end user about what app to use to change a certain setting. With iOS's delta updates … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Apple 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Apple Extraordinary compared to other OS on the lookout for the mobile devices. In the event that somebody needs an ad free and secure insight. Apple iOS give you heaps of inbuilt elements by which there is no need of any outsider applications. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Apple 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. Incentivized Mike Bursack Technical Operations Manager Read full review
Usability	Apple 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.

Support Rating	Apple 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. Incentivized Derek Benson IT, Network Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Apple 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. Incentivized Nathanael Tanguilig Solutions Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	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. Incentivized Mike Bursack Technical Operations Manager Read full review
