Apple CEO Tim Cook said during a live chat that Android has more malware than iOS and “sideloading” mobile apps were not in the “best interests of users. “If Apple was forced to allow sideloading apps, as Android does, it would destroy the security and privacy of the iOS platform.
He said, while speaking virtually at the Viva Tech 2021 conference in Paris, France, on June 16.
Asked about the Proposed European law, known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), that aims to prevent the big tech companies from monopolizing their position in the market, Cook signaled Apple’s opposition to it, as it would force the tech giant to allow users to install software outside Cook also claimed that Android has “47 times more malware” than Apple because the iOS has been designed in such a way that there’s one app store and “all of the apps are reviewed” before going to the store.
