Abstract

This study investigates and compares the security systems of Android and iOS devices, focusing on practical testing across a range of devices running different versions of their respective operating systems. As mobile security threats continue to rise and limited real-world comparisons exist, this research provides valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of both platforms. The study employs real device testing, examining key factors such as biometric login methods, password security, system compatibility, and app permissions.
