Apple stated the issue with identical twins themselves. But this is a serious security issue. Who is more likely to have access to your phone than an identical twin that (may) live in the same house.?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone being preference in the enterprise is not a coincidence.
This is purely anecdotal and of no value to this discussion. The video maker could have made it non-anecdotal by actually showing the video of the crashes, which he would clearly have had.
It’s also very foolish to give up something after just two days...basically it’s saying you didn’t want to give it a chance anyway
Samsung is the preferred preference in enterprise over here. Apple was holding that crown for years but ceded that to Samsung. No surprise either.
It means he's obviously wrong but the doesn't want to admit it in any way. He thought Samsung's front glass would be more expensive to repair than the iphone's. The end.
Because Samsung has better support and develops their own OS? Oh, wait thats Apple. Where I work android is not even on the list, as a matter of fact, there is no list.
No, because Samsung has this

Where's apple's similar impenetrable security solution?
Samsung's new Galaxy S10+, announced on February 20, is set to ship next week with all of the latest technologies Samsung has developed over the course of the last year.
We were able to get our hands on an S10+ early, and we thought we'd take a look to see how it measures up to the iPhone XS Max.

Samsung's Galaxy S10+ uses the design that we've come to expect from modern smartphones, with an edge-to-edge display and slim bezels designed to maximize available screen size. The Galaxy S10+ uses a 6.4-inch 3040 x 1440 OLED display and rather than a notch, there's a hole punch-style cutout that Samsung calls the Infinity-O display.
On the S10, it's a single little circle, but on the S10+, which has a dual-lens front-facing camera, the cutout, located at the right side of the display, is a bit wider. It's an odd location, but like the notch, it kind of blends in and you forget it's there with regular use. The OLED display looks amazing with bright, vibrant colors, as does the iPhone XS Max display, but the display of the S10+ curves down towards the edges.
At 6.4 inches and with these curved sides, the S10+ is not a one-handed device, but then neither is the iPhone XS Max. Rather than using facial recognition like Apple, which Android device manufacturers have yet to master, Samsung implemented an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It's neat and works well enough, but it's not as fast or as accurate as Face ID.
Apple's iPhone XS Max has a dual-camera setup, while the Galaxy S10+ is equipped with three cameras: a telephoto, a wide-angle lens, and an ultra wide-angle lens. This is the same general setup that we're expecting in the 2019 successor to the iPhone XS Max, but for now, Samsung has the edge here. We're going to be doing a deeper dive into the S10+ camera, so stay tuned to MacRumors for that.
Samsung implemented a unique "Wireless PowerShare" feature that lets the Galaxy S10+ charge other Qi-based devices like the Galaxy Watch, the Galaxy Buds, and even the iPhone. It's quite a neat feature and one that Apple is also rumored to be implementing in the 2019 iPhone lineup. 2019 iPhones should be able to charge the rumored AirPods with wireless charging case that are in the works and other Qi-based devices.
The Galaxy S10+ brings an updated One UI Android skin, which is similar to the stock Android installation on Google Pixel devices. It's quick, fast, and has a system-wide dark mode, which is something that's also rumored to be coming to iPhones in 2019 with iOS 13.
As for internals, the Galaxy S10+ is using either a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip (in the U.S. and China) or its own Exynos processor. Benchmarks have already suggested that the Galaxy S10+ is slower than the iPhone XS Max, but in practice both smartphones are so fast that there's not going to be much of a noticeable difference in performance between the two.
Samsung's Galaxy S10 and S10+ are certainly some of the best Android devices available right now with innovative features and top of the line specs that aren't included in current iPhones. We'll need to wait for September to see what Apple has in store for its own 2019 device lineup, but rumors so far are promising.
Are you impressed with the Galaxy S10 and S10+? Are there features you hope will come to Apple devices? Let us know in the comments.

I bought my first Apple product last year, an iPad, and so have had a year to compare it to my Android OS devices and it's almost childish in its lack of features and optimisation. Simple things are done badly, like folders and freeing up space, where you have to uninstall an app rather than select individual files and folders. Having to have a 5 by 4 display is ludicrous and dated. It's as though the software was designed to be used by primary school kids. I shan't be buying an iPhone until I suffer from dementia.
As much as I would love to disagree with you, I purchased a Surface Pro 6 for exactly the reasons you mention. 2018 iPP prices are too much to swallow.
As a general rule of thumb, you punch upwards, not downwards.
So the Mac campaign made sense when Apple was the scrappy underdog. The same strategy doesn’t make sense today when Apple’s biggest rivals are not Microsoft or Samsung, but the FBI.
I get it. It’s no longer cool to root for Apple theses days, now that they are the 600 billion pound gorilla in the room and not the underdog crawling back from the brink of bankruptcy and fighting to give the world an alternative to Wintel. Given its size, Apple arguably deserves scrutiny and competition, not blind admiration.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t be impressed. It’s like watching Usain Bolt dominate race after race in his active sporting days. It didn’t always make for cliffhanging action, because you knew it was a forgone conclusion the moment he stepped onto the track, but it’s been a marvel nonetheless.
Maybe it’s me. I have noted previously that I am in a position where Apple’s focuses have been in line with my own computing needs. My iPhone works great for me. I love my Apple Watch and my airpods which I got from day 1. I have been using my ipad in the classroom since 2012, and have come to love working on iOS over macOS (except when the OS doesn’t support it; and even that gets lesser and lesser over time). My MBA is now collecting dust in my drawer as my work-issued HP Elite has become thin and light enough for me to bring it to and from work.
This doesn’t mean that Apple is perfect, or its products and people infallible. Still, there is no denying what a juggernaut of impact Apple has been, for me at least.
While you all lambast Apple for having dropped the ball on the Mac, I am excited to see where their foray into wearables proceed from here. I especially look forward to getting AirPods 2, AirPower and the Series 5 Apple Watch later this year.
Time will tell as to whether Apple has made the right bet. My money’s on Apple all the way.
This! One of the reasons I like the iPhone is the ability to hold on to older hardware longer. If I want to skip a generation or three, I can still enjoy the updated software.
You staring at your phones desktop for hours? I will never understand this complaint that comes up year after year. I have used many android phones alongside iPhones and the desire to make a phone desktop like a computer desktop is just silly. People don't want to admit it but Apple had it right from day one. The home screen just needs to essentially be an app launcher. Let me explain...
When I unlock my iPhone, it is to jump into an app and do something. When I unlock my Android phone, it is also to jump into an app and do something. Let's take a look at how this process goes down on both. On my iPhone, I unlock and I am already looking at my apps. I tap the one I want and I am in. On Android, I am looking at my apps on the home screen. I tap one and I am in.
Let's look at this process when someone "rices" their android home screen to "make it look cool". The person unlocks their phone. They are looking at a wallpaper and maybe 4-8 "core" apps they frequently use. If they are trying to use one of those, no problem. They tap the app and they're in, just like the previous examples. Now, let's look at if that person suddenly needs to use an app that IS NOT on their home screen. What does the android user do? More than likely they are swiping up from the bottom to, oh whats that? OPEN AN APP DRAWER. An app drawer that is essentially what iOS users see immediately on their home screens. This person now has to swipe up or down or left to right through a huge list of apps to pinpoint the specific one they want to use. This adds extra steps to the simple use case of getting into an app. It may not seem like much, but it is. There are an endless amount of examples like this were iOS has just streamlined the way someone actually uses their phone and makes those steps more efficient. Android can get close to iOS out of the box with a decent amount of tinkering, but let's be real. No one is doing that except for a very small percentage of phone users. Of course someone who is savvy knows you can always get quickly to an app but just typing the name of it. On iOS this is a simple swipe down on the home screen to open Spotlight and start typing (Spotlight which also can search through EVERYTHiNG on your phone. Very handy.). On Android you can setup other apps to do that in a similar way. I would say it's a null and void argument because most normal people don't launch apps that way. They tap the icon.
In all honesty, I hope Apple continues to use the classic springboard home screen layout. It does exactly what it needs to do and is streamlined, despite people raging about not being able to see their latest "cool" wallpaper on their 6" screen for a couple seconds before they launch an app. I have never once read someones idea for a iOS home screen redesign that sounded better than what it already is.
In short,
STOP THINKING YOUR HOME SCREEN NEEDS TO BE SOME COOL LOOKING COMPUTER DESKTOP. IT'S ON A TINY SCREEN AND YOU ARE NOT STARING AT IT FOR HOURS. THE PHONE IS MEANT TO LAUNCH APPS TO GET **** DONE.

Dude what year are you living in ? 2009? Android runs flawlessly and literally never crashes...ever I'm like 5 weeks without shutting my cell off.
It's been a while since I've used Android, but aren't you at the mercy of your carrier as to when your OS gets updated?
Really? My wife has p20 pro from work and it has all kinds of software issues apps crashing is just one small part of it. For example, WhatsApp, when launched, will make display black or insensitive to touch. Crashes a lot while on call, web browsers are garbage compared to Safari and not even close in terms of fluidity. Android on huawei phones is one huge pile of steaming **** in general.
Samsung phones are certainly not "just as expensive".
In the UK, a Galaxy S10 costs £799. An iPhone Xs costs £999. A Galaxy S10+ costs £899. An iPhone Xs Max costs £1099.
Furthermore, people who pre-order these Galaxy phones get a free pair of Galaxy Buds costing £130. These Galaxy phones also include fast charging in the box. One does not need to pay an additional £69 for this feature.
I think Apple is to blame beyond just pricing. Their hubris about touchscreen Mac OS X products is astonishing. A touchscreen based OS X would sell very well. At the iPP prices, I wish they used Mac OS X. I would've purchased that over a Surface product, but that isn't the case. Though, the iPP as a product, it could do very well for light design and smaller productivity since has the peripherals needed to create content or render services.
That really can apply for any phone. Hell people on here have moaned about the same on their iPhone. It can happen on any device.
So that issue isn’t an android issue
What hasn't been innovative from apple lately? faceid? smart hdr? neural engine? airpods, homepods, aw with ekg? Nothing there innovative? Got it.
I didn't say that. I never even implied that. Without evidence or data, it is anecdotal. Several people who post on this forum are often quick to observe that a person's post is anecdotal when the post does not suit any narrative they may have.
