Android VS iOS - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!

-

Google's Android and Apple's iOS both are operating systems used in mobile technology such as smartphones and tablets. Android is a linux based partly open source Operating System (OS) which is more PC like than iOS. Android interface and basic features are generally more customizable from top to bottom. However, iOS uniform design elements are more user-friendly.

You should choose your smartphone and tablet OS carefully, as switching from iOS to Android or vice versa will require you to buy apps again in the Google Play or Apple App Store. Android is now the world’s most commonly used smartphone platform and is used by many different smartphone companies. iOS is only used on Apple devices, such as the iPhone.

Watch Out! This New Web Exploit Can Crash and Restart Your iPhone It's 2018, and just a few lines of code can crash and restart any iPhone or iPad and can cause a Mac computer to freeze. Sabri Haddouche , a security researcher at encrypted instant messaging app Wire, revealed a  proof-of-concept  (PoC) web page containing an exploit that uses only a few lines of specially crafted CSS & HTML code.
