You know one reason (or perhaps the primary reason) why people prefer an iPhone over Android is that you get the best quality hardware and software from Apple with apps like Siri, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. that’s not available for Android. That’s not all! You also get the first-class versions of all official apps by various vendors. As you probably know few apps by Google work better on iOS than Android. When Google released Maps for iOS, several sources claimed that Google Maps for iOS is better than Android version. And this report suggests that Google’s apps run better on the iPad mini than the Nexus 7. So it really means that you don’t have to buy an Android phone for the sake of apps.

This got me thinking: How can I, as an everyday user of several platforms, devices, services, and storage options, find a way to be more secure when using apps and services of different companies? I, like most of us, want to retain a certain amount of privacy. This means that I wouldn’t want others to gain access to my texts, my daily activities on the internet, or any of my several thousand photos. (We all remember that one in 2014 which rhymes with ‘The Happening,’ right?) This applies to both companies (like Apple, Facebook, Google, etc.) as well as governments. The possibility of a hack is pretty high in many cases. At present, Evernote just released information of a hack as well. It is believed to have affected around 50 million users.

No, no, no. Microsoft is not going to launch a mobile device powered by iOS or Android. You bet! Over the past few months/years Microsoft has released a bunch of apps for the iOS platform (and Android too). And they’re not stopping there as they continue launching new apps. Microsoft’s commitment to the iOS platform is very much evident from their recent acquisitions. Last December they acquired one of the most popular email app for iOS — Acompli. And in less than two months they rebranded it as Outlook for iOS. Read: Over 25 Email Apps (Free & Premium) For Your iPhone And iPad It was just a beginning.
