ipad or macbook security
I’ll soon be replacing an old MacBook Pro. I’m considering the MacBook Air or the iPad Pro. A friend mentioned that a iPad Pro, may not only be able to serve as a MacBook replacement (pending workflow), but it may also be somewhat more secure since it is a “closed system” and cannot be taken control of by a hacker. Is an iPad more secure than a MacBook and therefore less likely to get malware or hacked?
In addition, with an iPad you can use cellular, so all communication is encrypted. Is using cellular to access the internet more secure than Ethernet and wifi? I assume Ethernet is more secure than wifi. Also, can an Apple device be run on cellular data only - ever for updates, iCloud, etc?
I’d be interested in your comments. Thanks!
