  3. Introduction • Smartphones are increasingly powerful personal devices that offer novel ways of communication, information search and sharing, and entertainment. • It is widely believed that also the user communities of Android and iOS differ from each other. Although we could not find reliable scientific data, we could compile a list of differences from personal communication and different press sources. • Probably most poignantly these differences are pictured in the cartoon by Idan Schneider.

  6. Mobile Operating Systems Types • Google's Android • Apple's iOS • Nokia's Symbian • RIM's BlackBerry OS • Samsung's Bada • Microsoft's Windows Phone • Hewlett-Packard's webOS • Embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo.

  7. Upcoming Operating Systems • Mozilla's Firefox OS • Canonical Ltd.'s Ubuntu Phone • Tizen. Such operating systems can be installed on many different phone models, and typically each device can receive multiple OS software updates over its lifetime.

  8. Popular Smartphone Operating Systems • Most popular smartphone operating systems worldwide are: • Google’s Android that comes with a wide variety of smartphones. • Apple’s iOSthat is used in iPhones.

  9. Hypotheses • We were primarily interested in the differences between Android and iOS users concerning security and privacy issues. We also wanted to check if there is a grain of truth in the demographic differences as depicted in Fig. 1. Therefore, we formulated the following five hypotheses. • H1: Female users are more likely to have an iPhone. • H2: If users have a technical background, then they are more likely to have an Android phone. • H3: If users are brand-aware, then they are more likely to have an iPhone. • H4: Having an Android phone is positively correlated to being more security aware. • H5: Having an Android phone is positively correlated to being more privacy aware.

  10. H1: Female users are more likely to have an iPhone. • This hypothesis is weakly supported. • This may be due to the large sample size.

  11. H2: If users have a technical background, then they are more likely to have an Android phone. • Studying a technical subject or working in a technical field were not correlated to having an Android phone. However, if technical features are an important factor for the choice of the smartphone, the person is significantly more likely to have an Android phone. • The variable Interest in Technology has a negative effect. Persons interested in technology are much more likely to have an iPhone

  12. H3: If users are brand-aware, then they are more likely to have an iPhone. • This hypothesis is supported. • Persons that stated that the phone manufacturer’s brand influenced them when choosing a smartphone, are significantly more likely to have an iPhone

  13. H4: Having an Android phone is positively correlated to being more security aware. • Persons who stated to have a virus scanner installed on their smartphone are significantly more likely to have an Android phone • It is not clear whether having a virus scanner can be considered as an independent variable, because there are many virus scanners for Android, and virtually no virus scanners for iOS. One may also argue that more security aware people would probably choose iOS because of the Apple review process. This question needs further investigation.

  14. H5: Having an Android phone is positively correlated to being more privacy aware. • Here, one may be tempted to argue, similarly to H4, that more privacy aware users might choose iOS because they trust that privacy invasive apps will not pass Apple’s review process. However, Apple’s review criteria are kept secret, and iOS apps are known to be quite privacy invasive from the literature
