What I like most about Apple iOS is the stability and security that come with its closed ecosystem. Since Apple controls the hardware, software, and app distribution end to end, everything feels consistent and dependable, and it’s much less prone to malware or other unexpected behavior.

The biggest downside of Apple iOS, in my view, is its overly conservative NFC policy. Apple keeps most NFC capabilities locked down to Apple‑approved scenarios, so many excellent offline NFC use cases, such as deeper transit integrations, contactless access systems, or more innovative tap‑based workflows, just aren’t possible on iOS. The hardware itself is clearly capable, but the restrictions in the ecosystem end up holding it back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
