Apple (iOS) has long been praised for its security. With a tightly controlled ecosystem, strict app approval, and regular security updates pushed straight to all devices, Apple’s approach reduces risk from day one. It’s designed to work the same across all devices, which keeps security consistent.

Android, on the other hand, is open-source and used across a wide range of devices from different manufacturers. This flexibility comes at a cost, updates can be delayed or skipped entirely depending on the brand, which can expose businesses to risks for longer. That said, when properly managed, Android can be just as secure, especially on enterprise-grade devices.

For most small businesses that want simple, consistent security with minimal fuss, Apple is often the safer choice out of the box.
