The U.S Army can consider itself an Android switcher; a source claims that the U.S Army Special Operations Command is switching from Android to an iPhone for its Tactical Assault Kit.
The current Tactical Assault Kit uses a Samsung Galaxy Note II. smartphone which is said to be a variant of the Galaxy Note. Due to performance issues, the iPhone 6s has been selected as its replacement.
The iPhone is “faster; smoother. Android freezes up” and has to be restarted too often, the source said. The problem with the Android is particularly noticeable when viewing live feed from an unmanned aerial system such as Instant Eye, the source said.
The Samsung smartphone will freeze and fail to refresh properly when running split-screen apps. This forced the users to restart the phone very often, a process which wastes valuable time. However, the iPhone is able to deliver a seamless experience with "clear" and "unbelievable graphics".
To be fair, the Galaxy Note II is a four-year old model while the iPhone 6s was released in September 2015. Comparing the performance of the Galaxy Note II and iPhone 6s is like trying to compare apples and oranges.
In case you're wondering whether the U.S Army is the only military force in the world to use iOS devices, let us remind you that the Singapore Armed Forces issued about 8,000 iPad 2 units to recruits in the Basic Military Training Centre and servicemen in other units. The iPad units are used for training and operation requirements.
