I carry an Android and I always have since my first smartphone. When I\u2019m with my techie friends, we\u2019re all droids and sometimes get into talking about new ways we found to customize our phones. When I\u2019m with my friends who aren\u2019t so into tech, I\u2019m the only droid in the room and when the conversation turns to phones, which it inevitably does because we\u2019re all guilty of being glued to our screens, they poke fun at me for carrying a \u201cless sexy\u201d phone. One of my friends admitted that she chose her iPhone just because she wanted to look cool.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the basis of opinions we tend to come across: Android people want to customize and mess around with their phone while iPhone people want a reliable phone that works. Not to say that that there aren\u2019t many exceptions to this rule, but this is what I have come across in my personal experience. This sometimes translates over into the enterprise even though it really shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>There have been thousands of articles written in favor of one or the other. Just today I came across one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itwire.com\/business-it-news\/security\/69191-byod-apple-devices-a-business-security-risk\" target=\"_blank\">put out by ITWire<\/a> breaking down the BYOD risk of Apple devices. While this article valid in its reasoning, it\u2019s also true for most devices because it\u2019s all about human error, not the devices. Any enterprise device is only as good as the security placed on it and the maintenance it receives.<\/p>\n<p>This is kind of a cop out opinion to have because we all secretly or not so secretly wish that a winner will rise out of a pile of rubble, but what I think is most important is the care taken in making the decision, especially if BYOD isn\u2019t on the table. Going through and making the decision based on what is best for the company is the most important. I\u2019m very biased toward Android but I can appreciate the benefit of using iOS in the work place especially if most employees are already familiar with it. Picking the correct MDM or EMM solution is much more important than sticking with one OS. Most MDM solutions work with Android, iOS and other OSes just as well.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re talking about BYOD, then the argument is void because the entire point of BYOD is for employees to use the device they\u2019re comfortable with. The point is, each device is only as secure as you make it. When a phone gets hacked, it&#8217;s not because it&#8217;s iPhone or an Android, it&#8217;s because it wasn&#8217;t secure enough or someone wasn&#8217;t careful enough. There will never be a resolution to this rivalry in or out of the enterprise, but we can all still have fun fighting about it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"speedbump-1\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"MDM Buyer's Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/files\/2019\/02\/mobility-bg-speedbump.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to MDM Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all been there, championing one side of the tired argument; which OS is better for enterprise mobility; iOS or Android.
