The cold war between Android and iOS is never going to end and a recent report suggests that Android smartphones are more susceptible for failure compared to the iPhones even though 60% of the smartphones are running on the Android operating system.
According to a report from a data security company named Blancco, Android smartphones are likely to fail more than iOS devices. The report also suggests that Samsung smartphones are more likely to fail (highest rate of failure) compared to any other smartphone maker.
The data also suggests that the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6S are the worst performing iOS devices with a failure rate of 22 percent of 16 percent respectively. However, this number is nothing compared to the Android smartphone failure rate.
