APPLE boss Tim Cook has made a subtle dig at Google, claiming that the firm's Android operating system is littered with dodgy software.
In an interview yesterday, the 60-year-old said that Android has almost 50 times more malware than iOS, the operating system that powers the iPhone.
He suggested that this gap is due to the robust protections that Apple employs to shield its users from hackers.
"Android has 47 times more malware than iOS does," Cook said at the VivaTech conference, one of Europe's biggest startup and tech events.
"Why is that? It's because we've designed iOS in such a way that there's one ‌App Store‌ and all of the apps are reviewed prior to going on the store.
"That keeps a lot of this malware stuff out of our ecosystem." |
