    Move over blackberry. Stay under a rock, Android.

    iOS dominates business and enterprise.

    Three years later, fandroids claiming "no productivity" "no business will ever use iOS" now walk around these forums with both feet in their mouth.

    Loving it.

    You are the worst kind of Apple zombie I have ever seen.

    Do you even have anything of yours in your head? Or did Apple install iBrains for you? How will you feel in a few years knowing you spet better parts of days rummaging around the internet finding articles to reaffirm your belief that your choice of phone is correct?

    And before you launch the "Android fanbody" shell at me, I don't own and never have owned an Android phone.

    And also shame on me for even being bothered by you... Not like anything will change your brainwashed mindset.

    Being in the medical industry with a very satisfying position that rewards me with $84,000 a year, I already enjoy the luxury of knowing I spent better parts of days towards a rewarding career in where I can afford to spend my downtime upsetting fandroids with factual evidence that contradicts the very "bull" I am often accused of spewing. And yes. It's always satisfying to see that after just a few years, everything I've said since the iPhone 1 in 2007 has been coming true. First, the video game industry. Second, education. And now, business. Yes. It's very satisfying being proven right, and I intend to rub it in all the fandroids faces who argued with such horrible arguments in vain. Cheers to karma!

    Also with your high education you might have noticed that BlackBerry was not included because Good cannot track them, as well as the report being very poorly defined with no accurate sample size given, nor a definition of activation nor anything basically. For all you know activation might mean when Good Technology services are activated on the system. Basically this stuff is null and void because it's not defined, if you are in the medical industry you should probably know how proper surveys and reports are presented and defined.

    weird... i work for a "major" technology company and i don't think i seen 1 apple product being used for business... all bb and android. obviously one company isn't representative of the entire industry but if they're "ubiquitous" and "dominant" you'd think i'd see a few people using them

    That information is also broken down here.

    According to a study released on Tuesday, activations of Apple's various iPhones and iPads accounted for eight of the top ten devices activated by enterprise entities for the fourth quarter of 2012, with the current iPhone lineup taking the top three spots.



    It's a little like beating a dead horse at this point. Apple is largely replacing legacy Blackberry hardware in enterprise. It's interesting because that was one of the biggest criticisms against Apple when they first released the iPhone.

    Again, please read the freaking report. It does not include BlackBerry and it's not defined in any aspect. This report is just stupid and not good (no pun intended)

    Then you would have noticed that they specifically state that they cannot track BlackBerry, the sample size is not given, the definition of activation is not provided etc.

    That they were a HUGE player in the enterprise environment and although they aren't as big of a player as they once were, still have some weight in enterprise. If only for the name.

    Right, but what we're focusing on isn't the fading Blackberry, but rather the rise of outside forces in enterprise.

    This probably would have been a better article to post before those two iOS lockscreen bypass bugs were found. Especially since as someone in the medical industry you no doubt know HIPPA doesn't look too kindly on that sort of thing.

    Maturity isn't really something 75% of this forum brings to the table. Otherwise all the fandroids here would have a much easier time handling factual evidence of Android being inferior.

    The fact that an update that fixes what you mention released a day and a half after the incident for all iPhone owners kind of negates what you're trying to get at, doesn't it. Yet another thing Android isn't capable of doing. Timely updates that are available for all iOS device owners. Cheers to uniformity.

    What was that thing I heard about a two year old Android phone only recieving a 15 month old update recently?  Mm..  Yes.  

    Must be why seemingly every industry avoids Android these days.  Especially the game industry and business.

    Except, um, the lockscreen bypass issues haven't been fixed. The fix for the emergency call bug is coming in 6.1.3, iOS is currently on 6.1.2. If you're going to troll like this, you should probably refrain from making sh*t up that can be easily verified with a quick google (or a quick look at my iPhone, for that matter). 

    But thanks for bringing up the latest update. I forgot how 6.1 also broke Exchange ActiveSync (which tends to be kinda important to enterprise) for a week or two while Apple scrambled to put out 6.1.2.
