Abstract
Smartphone has become an important part of our everyday life. Android and apple are the two most used operating system (OS) for smart phones. We usually store important information in our smart phone, e.g.: credit card, bank account, driving ID, SSN. As a result, Android and Apple operating systems and applications have both been subject to a wide number of vulnerabilities and attacks. This directly effects many people being that they are the global leaders of users within their platforms reaching billions of people daily. It is important that smartphones receive better defense and security. In this paper, we aim to analyze the defense structures in place for both operating systems, possible solutions, and compare the two and examine if one is truly more secure than the other. Android and Apple both have not been as secure with their operating systems as expected leaving many users exposed to cybercrime.
