Apple CEO Tim Cook says Android has 47 times more malware than iOS, sideloading apps would destroy iPhone security

Apple CEO Tim Cook has said Google’s mobile operating system, aka Android has 47 times more malware than iOS, the operating system that powers Cupertino’s iPhones and by extension, the iPad (as iPadOS). Cook made the startling revelations during an interview with digital video platform Brut.

Cook said that iOS has been designed in such a way that all the apps are reviewed before being added to “one” App Store. He further said that this tight curation keeps the Store free of malware. Apple has received positive feedback from customers who seem to value this effort, Cook said, making Cuertino’s resolve to “stand up for the user” paramount.
