Apple has faced several criticisms for how closely controlling the application ecosystem on the App Store.
Google, on the other hand, is not astray when it comes to the application.
Android users have an option sideloading apps – download them from other sources – but on the iPhone, you can’t.
For those who want to put aside the application, the CEO of Apple Team Cook has a message.
Cook, in chat with the New York Times, saying that “I think people have that choice today …
if you want to put it aside, you can buy an Android phone.” Cook said that the choice was there for the buyer.
Furthermore, on the Sideloading application, he said “If it’s important to you, then you have to buy an Android phone.” Apple always fights up the causes of user security and privacy.
Cook gives an analogy from car manufacturers.
“From our point of view, it will be like if I am a car manufacturer who tells [Customers] not to put airbags and seat belts in the car.
He will never think about doing this today.
Too risky to do that, “He said.
The CEO of Apple said that “it won’t be an iPhone if you don’t maximize security and privacy.” Apple never allows sideloading applications.
In a recent research paper shared by the company, Apple said that Android smartphones had been attacked by cellular malware between 15 and 47 times more than malware targeting the iPhone.
Many malware and other problems inhibit the phone, according to Apple, has been closely related to sideloading applications.
“Cybercriminals can cheat users into the Sideloading application by imitating the App Store appearance, or by touting free or expanded access to exclusive services or features,” Apple said in a research paper.
Furthermore said that “sideloading will make it easier and cheaper to carry out many attacks that are currently difficult and expensive to be executed on iOS.”
