Iphone apps
if your iPhone has a software update 11.2.2 you will find certain apps will not work because the owners of the apps have not updated them to work on the new software update.
These include the Green Flag App and Flogas App, there is a new Green Flag (Mayday) app but that will ask you for a email address and a password neither of which you will have as you arrange it through the club

I can’t get the club site booking app to work. When I try to log in it just crashes. Reported on the online chat over a week ago. No acknowledgement of the issue from the IT department and it still isn’t working

Just shows we are all different peedee. I think the same about Android. I find iOS products very easy to use. Although would agree about the more expensive ones as far as price is concerned, they are no more difficult to use. We are quite happy with our older iPhones, which are currently still upgradable to the latest iOS. Mine can even be replaced at less than half the cost of the iphone 10.

I have both PD, the most annoying about the IOS platform is the fact they make it hard to use 3rd party bolt ons whereas Android?, it’s seamless to use them them. Yet IOS will sell you their price inflated bolt ons😤. Saying that the IPad takes some beating no doubt about that👍🏻

For me the iPhones in this day and age are a blessing; the Apple stable are all encrypted, no one else has that level of security or reassurance. Even the FBI could not get into them!
Recently, I was approached by Norton, my laptop security solution, to add mobile Norton to my mobile phone. After several attemtps to load it, it failed to load. When I spoke to Norton support they said because I had an iPhone I didn't need their mobile app, because I was encrypted....
Thats why I have an iPhone rather than any of the others.

Hi Brue, I dont disagree with you. I didnt say that Apple devices are secure. If I thought that I would not have attempted to load Norton Mobile. Having spent 25 years in IT & Telecoms security I consider all aspects of layered security and try to protect myself.
Most of the time its not the device but the actions of the user. We all must take care when using the Internet. Many of those who fall foul do so because of the way they use the Internet, by leaving their mark all over the web and by opening mail and attachments when they dont know who they are from. And not having adequate protection on the device.
I am sure some members will learn something from this string which will help them as they go forward.

The actual Iphone like most Apple hardware is pretty good. It's the IOS and the apps which lets the hardware down, coupled with the exorbitant prices Apple charge for their specific add on software.(Not exactly value for money ). Many websites are incompatible with Apple's IOS updates.
Android is much more cost effective,universally compatable, more secure, more stable and easy to use.. Apps are generally free.
On the value for money stakes Android beats Apple hands down. IMO

Here we go again! Horses for courses. Who could criticise Microsoft for not providing good economical software for years and years, satisfying the masses. But who do the hackers target first; Microsoft, because it is an easy target. The same goes for Android v IOS. Android is cheap and cheerful and suits a lot of people, but if you install the necessary add ons for protection there is not a lot of difference in the price, its just that Apple comes in a bundle to start.
The reason why Apps are cheaper and more widly available on Android is because of the encryption in IOS and the high standards that Apple impose on App developers.
My MS laptop is a constant threat so I have to pay somebody for protection and constantly look out for new threats and then pay out more. It is the same with Andoid devices. My Apple devices are much less of a threat which is less for me to worry about.

If you are so worried about hackers an Apple device won't do the trick. There have been numerous reports of wide scale intrusion problems with Apple products, also dubious IOS updates.
You've ruled out Android and MS products as allegedly being more vulnerable than apple, which is debatable, so I'm surprised that you have not bought a device and loaded Linux, a brilliant OP system which is infinitely versatile and configurable by the user. easy to write your own apps for and as safe as houses.
