AI Shields<\/p>\n

A trio of independent studies from YouGov, Counterpoint Research and Leviathan Security has found that Android systems from rival Alphabet-owned Google (GOOGL)<\/a> \u2013 powered by advanced AI<\/a> defenses \u2013 are outperforming Apple\u2019s iOS in detecting and blocking phone scams.<\/p>\n

The findings, as reported by Digital Information World, suggest that Android users encounter fewer fraud attempts and place greater trust in their phones\u2019 built-in safeguards.<\/p>\n

Across the surveys, carried out in the U.S., India and Brazil, Android users were 58% more likely than iPhone users to report receiving no scam texts in the week prior to taking part. On Google\u2019s Pixel phones the gap was even wider, the study found.<\/p>\n

About one in five Android users described scam protection as highly effective, while iPhone users were 150% more likely to say their phone failed to stop fraudulent activity.<\/p>\n

Security specialists at Counterpoint Research analyzed four recent flagship models, Google\u2019s Pixel, Samsung\u2019s Galaxy, Motorola\u2019s Razr, and Apple\u2019s iPhone 17 Pro, to evaluate AI-driven protection. They found Android devices offered full coverage across nine security areas, including scam detection, app malware filtering, phishing prevention, and anti-theft systems. The iPhone achieved equivalent safeguards in only two.<\/p>\n

Teething Problems<\/p>\n

Leviathan Security Group ranked Android\u2019s protection features \u2013 particularly call screening, real-time scam detection, and on-device authentication alerts \u2013 as more comprehensive.<\/p>\n

It comes as Apple said this week that it had set record Q4 revenues<\/a> for its iPhone and services. However, despite this, some analysts continue to worry it is just not doing enough in the AI field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe iPhone 17, which launched in September, seems to have gone down a storm and pushed people to upgrade,\u201d said AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould.<\/p>\n

But he added: \u201cThe perception that Apple is being left behind in the AI race continues to be reinforced with scheduled upgrades to voice assistant Siri delayed and teething problems with other artificial- intelligence-led initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The results of these three studies will add to those AI Apple nerves.<\/p>\n
