Android Devices Versus iOS Devices

Intermedia's report found that 68 percent of mobile device activations in 2014 supported iOS, as opposed to Android or other operating systems.

One reason why SMBs might opt for iOS as an enhanced enterprise operating platform is due to Apple's narrow scope of devices on the OS, which facilitates device management for both IT administrators and businesses.

"Apple is really nice from the point of view of an app developer or IT administrator," said Levine. "Android operates on various devices that are similar but don't always work the same way. Android devices are radically different and that makes it harder for IT administrators to keep up."
