Android vs iPhone: Comparison of Security Models

[ Thanks to An

for this link. ]

“Android and iPhone OS (iOS) have been at loggerheads
for quite some time now. This is a take on which has a better
security model to protect its users. I thought of writing it up
because there have been a lot of discussions around me lately about
which platform is more secure and I keep repeating the same points
over and over at every one of them, so thought that in future I’ll
just point them to this page 😛

“Disclaimer:

“A. I don’t guarantee this post to be absolutely correct as I’m
no security researcher or expert but I do have some interest in
this field and I’ve been a developer for some time now on different
architectures and OSs especially at OS/driver level and that too in
the mobile devices field, so I “might” actually be right about a
few things here and there..

“B. I’m an android user myself but not of the fanboy variety.
I’ll be happy to switch camps any day I get something that appeals
to me better. I have love and hate points for almost all platforms
available but I’m using android because “for me” it’s love points
slightly outnumber the hate points.”
