Which cellular device do you like to use - the iPhone or the Samsung? Now, which one actually provides the better quality? Yes, there are other types of androids, such as the Google Pixel, however, the competition for the best cellular device has stayed between Apple and Samsung as their products continue gaining popularity.
Apple, founded by Steve Jobs, and Samsung, founded by Chang-Gyu Hwang, have been in a "thermonuclear war" for almost the past 2 decades. This competition started when Samsung's NAND flash memory became the sole memory in Apple's iPods in 2005, motivating Samsung to release their own smartphone in 2009. Lawsuits and counter lawsuits about patent licenses or patent infringements started flying between the competitors, and brand power advertisements became a turning point in the game. As Samsung watched from behind the scenes as the new big iThing came out, they started developing their monumental commercial campaign, - "The Next Big Thing is Already Here" - bringing the competition to a tie for the first time. At the end of 2011, Samsung became the fastest growing global brand on Facebook and Twitter as their shipments increased to #1 in phone manufacturers. The war continues today as Samsung and Apple innovate more and more devices and options that are necessary for survival in the 21st century and beyond.
In terms of privacy, it's hard to trust any type of technology nowadays - you never know who or what is behind the other side of the screen. Most of the time, it's a computer collecting data upon data for private companies who, in turn, sell that information to the government. Now, which company do you think is best for privacy - Apple or Samsung? According to security companies like Norton 360, Apple's iOS system is considered the most secure because they operate on a closed system, meaning outside app developers don't have access to source codes and consumers cannot modify their codes. Because of this, it's harder for hackers to break down barriers protecting the system from hacking. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Samsung's Android system - fueled by Google - operates on an open system meaning there are more possible vulnerabilities that attract hackers, in addition to the Android system already being a hacker 'goldmine' due to it's global identity. However, it's best for consumers of both Samsung and Apple to be aware of possible malware and to stay away from third party app stores. Yes, both companies have their flaws, however, I would recommend Apple's less flexibility compared to Samsung's higher consumer control because Apple is less of a target for cybercrime thanks to its stringent controls.
