There are a few key differences between F-Secure Mobile Security for iOS and Apple’s Find My iPhone product.
- Find my iPhone is focused on helping the user find a lost device. F-Secure Mobile Security is a comprehensive security product that not only helps you find your lost device, but also protects you against data loss and security threats.
- F-Secure Mobile Security will help you locate your device on a map and make it sound a loud alarm so you can easily find it if it's lost nearby.
- F-Secure Mobile Security includes Signal Flare—a lost-device feature that saves your location when your battery charge gets below 10 percent. If you should lose your device when the battery is low, you can log into personal.f-secure.com, see where it was last, and have a fighting chance of getting it back. Apple’s Find My iPhone does not have this feature.
- F-Secure Mobile Security has products for iOS and Android devices. If you have any combination of these devices you can use one F-Secure Mobile Security account to secure and track them in one place. Apple’s Find My iPhone only supports iOS devices.
- F-Secure Mobile Security offers direct contact with a responsive support team, answering and responding to issues quickly, usually within 24 hours. Apple’s support relies on forums and a knowledge base, not person-to-person interactions.
