iPhone vulnerability comes under scrutiny.

Motoring Crunch reported that thieves are targeting iPhones more than they do Android and Windows smartphones. iPhones' features are reportedly not as secure as those of Android and Windows.

My iPhone feature has done its job in protecting the smartphone from theft. However, these efforts have not been enough to stop theft altogether.

Information Week reports that the Find My iPhone helps you find your smartphone if you lose it. The iPhone though, can still use some improvements in its security features implementation to further avoid theft.

Android and Microsoft will be launching a kill switch in their gadgets. This feature will bar the handset from becoming accessible to unauthorized persons, to avoid theft.

iPhone and iPad don't offer these enhanced security features. Mac developers should look into possibly installing this feature to their gadgets. It will sure do them and their users more good than harm.

iPad's Motion Alarm HD should develop its own version for iPhones. Doing so would prevent theft from occurring before it even happens. The best thing about apps is most of them may be used for free. Mac developers may want to consider providing an alarm app to iPhone for free, to increase user patronage.

Android and Windows obviously will not serve any good use to thieves.

Developers should do something to avert iPhone vulnerability attack. It's about time the smartphone developer take proactive actions to catch up with its competitors in the industry now, before it's too late.
