APPLE VS ANDROID??????? EASY 10 POINTS(:?
Personally, I HATE iPhones with a PASSION. I have had one, HATED IT. I now have a Droid 3 from Verizon. I personally will always stick with Android phones for many reasons -much MUCH more customizable - receive much more attention when it comes to updates -has widgets that are very handy -can support much more space with SD cards -has removable battery which is a big plus -are now generally world phones -much more pluses, google them(: IPhones are -very very breakable, my friend dropped her iPhone two feet, and it shattered completely -really boring after awhile, without customization options -very touchy (touchscreen can be a pain in the ***) These are just a few reasons..Androids will always be the best(: #Realtalk
How does Apple's Find My Device compare to Android's Device Manager?
Apple's Find my iPhone, starting with iOS 7 in 2013, offered Activation Lock which allowed for the iPhone to be essentially bricked without the password, making it less useful to thieves. Android Lollipop started offering a similar feature called Kill Switch as part of Android Device Manager in 2015 which is nearly as robust. The problem is that most Android phones are not running the latest version of the operating system and for a kill switch like this to work to deter theft, the majority of Android phones need to have the feature, which is not the case. As a result, it doesn't really work as a deterrent. Sure, if you have the feature on your Android phone and it gets stolen, it will be useless to a thief, but it's not going to stop them from stealing the device because the odds of the device has the feature are low compared to the iPhone, where almost all iPhones have iOS 7 or later installed. This isn't really a problem with Android Device Manager itself but a problem that is inherent with the Android ecosystem itself. Additionally, forked versions of Android without the Play Store also might not have this feature since it can be removed and replaced by manufacturers at their discretion.To counter this, the fact remains that the secondary market for Android phones is not near as strong as for iPhones so that is a deterrent on its own. A used iPhone is usually worth about 80% of whatever that model is selling for new while a used Android phone will usually be worth less than 50% of its selling price and often nothing at all. This is a deterrent to theft on its own.Thieves still steal iPhones even though they know the likelihood of them being locked is great. They simply scam people into thinking they aren't locked. So it's not 100% foolproof but it has decreased theft significantly since it takes more work to sell the devices. Stealing an iPhone is no longer an easy $400+.
How will iCloud handle privacy and security?
It depends on the following…If you are in the EU, the keys are covered by remarkably strong data protection laws. Disclosure requires a strict legal process.If you are in China, the government already has the keys, as per Apple’s China Agreement.If you are in the USA, it depends on how often Apple responds to mandatory, secret FISA court orders that cannot be disclosed to anyone. Because even the existence of such an order itself is secret, we have no way to determine how many Apple receives.All that said, in the absence of legal process, and of course assuming you are not in China, Apple’s implementation of cloud privacy practices and encryption technology appeared to be extremely strong, until this news was reported:The Feds Can Now (Probably) Unlock Every iPhone Model In ExistenceIf you can unlock the device, it doesn’t matter how good the encryption is, the privacy sucks.
How secure is the Apple iCloud from hackers?
Apple iCloud in General is pretty Secure, they are using industry-standard security technologies, secure tokens for authentication, and most importantly end-to-end Encryption. This means that only you can access your information, and only on devices where you’re signed into iCloud. No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information.You can find out more here - iCloud security overviewNow, you asking how secure iCloud is from Hackers?This depends if you referring to your own iCloud account (how secure is your iCloud account)or how Secure is iCloud infrastructure in general?To protect your own account, you should follow Jonathan’s tips, credit goes to him.Use a good, strong password. "123456", "password" or the name of your dog is not a good password!Don't reuse passwords across multiple sites. If one of the services is cracked and your access credentials leak, hackers have access to all of the accountsDon't write down your password in a text file on your computer. Use a password manager that stores passwords encrypted.Activate two-factor-authentication! If a new device tries to access your account, you get a text message in your phone with an additional code that's only valid for a short time.Don't use security questions that are easily looked up by a criminal. Your mother's maiden name can probably be found some place publicly accessible for example.Hope this helps.
Pending Lost Mode on iCloud is no longer pending! What does this mean?
Okay, so I desperately need some answers. PLEASE guys, this is killing me inside. So, I've lost my Iphone 5C. So I turned on iCloud and found its location. I activated 'Lost Mode' and 'Play Sound' but the phone went off as the battery was low. I could see the location but the 'Lost Mode' message that gets sent to the phone was 'Pending'. I made the mistake of blocking my cellular network immediately after, so I could no longer try calling the phone. A day later, 'Lost Mode' was no longer showing as pending annnnd my phone started showing as 'Offline' on iCloud and the 'last seen location' on the map was no longer visible! What does this mean??? I have now reactivated my cellular network on my lost phone, but when I call the phone, it says the phone is unavailable. Does "unavailable" mean that the SIM has been removed? Or that the phone is still off? Or that it is out of network range? If any of y'all might know, please help me cause I am freaking out!
How do I remove iCloud account on iPad or iPhone, if you forget your password and security question?
You'll have to figure out how to recover and reset the password for that account. There is no other way. It would defeat the purpose of there was, wouldn't it?

IPhone keeps asking for Apple ID password?
i charged my iphone 4s with iOS 7 from dead battery, and when i turned it on and unlocked it, it came up with the pop up to enter the apple ID password for my iCloud account. no matter how many times i entered the password or pressed cancel, it would keep popping up a couple of seconds later. i tried restarting the phone, but now its popping up with the same thing asking for my Facetime account. It is annoying because i cannot use my phone. any solutions?
