According to Military.com, the United States Army’s Special Operations Command will switch from Android to the iPhone. In the past, the Army has given soldiers an Android Tactical Assault Kit, equipped with what was believed to be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note. The new iPhone Tactical Assault Kit, however, will feature the iPhone 6s.
While the Army has yet to confirm the switch or offer any reasoning behind the decision, the source speaking to Military.com’s DodBuzz commented that the Android device would freeze up and have to be restarted relatively often. The iPhone, on the other hand, has been found by the Army to be “faster and smoother.”
