Both platforms can serve a business well. The right answer depends on your needs,
not brand loyalty.

**iPhone**

– **Consistency:** a small range of models with long software support

– **Updates:** new iOS versions reach all supported devices at the same time

– **Management:** strong support in Intune and other MDM tools, including zero-touch
enrollment through Apple Business Manager

– **Security:** a tightly controlled app ecosystem and strong built-in encryption

– **Resale value:** generally higher, which helps total cost

**Android**

– **Choice:** many manufacturers, price points, and form factors, including rugged
models

– **Flexibility:** open customization and wide hardware variety

– **Management:** Android Enterprise provides work profiles, which separate business
and personal data

– **Cost:** often lower upfront

– **Updates:** vary by manufacturer, so choose vendors with a strong update commitment

**How to decide**

1. **What do staff already use?** Familiarity reduces training and support.

2. **What apps do you rely on?** Check line-of-business app support on both.

3. **Do you need specialty hardware?** Rugged or scanner-equipped devices are mostly
Android.

4. **How will you manage them?** Both work with Intune, but standardizing on one
platform is simpler.

5. **What does the carrier offer?** Plans and trade-in programs can change the cost.

**Whichever you choose**

– Enroll devices in mobile device management

– Require a passcode and encryption

– Enable remote wipe

– Keep operating systems updated

– Set clear rules for app installation

**DBR Soft supplies and manages mobile fleets on either platform.** **[Contact us for more information.](https://dbr-soft.com/contact/)**
