A global study published on July 24, 2025 reveals surprising insights into mobile user behavior:
- iPhone users are more likely to reuse passwords, skip security apps, and buy from unknown sources. Around 53% noted scam victimization, while only 41% created unique passwords and 21% used security software PhoneArena
- In contrast, Android users showed better security awareness—29% used protective software, and they were less likely to buy from questionable vendors Malwarebytes.
The takeaway: device security is largely shaped by user behavior, not just platform capabilities.
