A survey shows that 49% of Android users are considering switching to Apple’s iPhone due to “perceived superiority” in security and privacy. In addition, consumers reported feeling more secure using the iPhone 13 Pro Max instead of Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra.




The survey by Beyond Identity, which interviewed 1,003 Americans regarding mobile phone security habits and sentiments, shows that 76% of Apple users feel more secure with iOS. In contrast, 74% of Android users have the same perception.

According to the users of each type of smartphone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max felt remarkably safer than the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. In fact, iPhone 13 users were more than twice as likely to say that theirs was the most secure smartphone they had ever used.

Key findings of the study also show how cloud services impact Apple and Android users:

• 20% of iCloud Keychain users feel extremely secure, while only 13% of Google Password Manager users feel the same;
• 27% of Apple users feel extremely secure using iCloud while 22% of Google Drive users feel the same.

It's true that the security issues with android phones is not up to the same level with iOs devices. I have considered it a couple of times but nothing really happened. I'm still good with my Samsung galaxy S20FE for now.

I used to be an Android user, until I made the switch back in 2018. It’s mainly because of security issues, plus most apps and games come out on iPhones first now.

I am seriously considering making a switch to the iPhone 12 mini because of this. I don't even think that my decision is based on security but simply because I want to have a better mobile experience with the iPhone 12.

When it comes to games, I don't think that iPhone is better. Android seems to have an upper hand there. Although, things might have changed lately but back then, games were more on android as far as I can tell.
