if your iPhone has a software update 11.2.2 you will find certain apps will not work because the owners of the apps have not updated them to work on the new software update.

These include the Green Flag App and Flogas App, there is a new Green Flag (Mayday) app but that will ask you for a email address and a password neither of which you will have as you arrange it through the club

The actual  Iphone like most Apple hardware is pretty good.  It's the IOS and the apps which lets the hardware down, coupled with the exorbitant prices Apple charge for their specific add on software.(Not exactly value for money ). Many websites are incompatible with Apple's IOS updates.

Android is much more cost effective,universally compatable,  more secure, more stable and easy to use..  Apps are generally free. 

On the value for money stakes Android beats Apple hands down.  IMO

Here we go again!      Horses for courses.    Who could criticise Microsoft for not providing good economical software for years and years, satisfying the masses.    But who do the hackers target first; Microsoft, because it is an easy target.      The same goes for Android v IOS.      Android is cheap and cheerful and suits a lot of people, but if you install the necessary add ons for protection there is not a lot of difference in the price, its just that Apple comes in a bundle to start.

The reason why Apps are cheaper and more widly available on Android is because of the encryption in IOS and the high standards that Apple impose on App developers.

My MS laptop is a constant threat so I have to pay somebody for protection and constantly look out for new threats and then pay out more.    It is the same with Andoid devices.    My Apple devices are much less of a threat which is less for me to worry about.

If you are so worried about hackers an Apple device won't do the trick. There have been numerous reports of wide scale intrusion problems with Apple products, also dubious IOS updates.

You've ruled out Android and MS products as allegedly being more vulnerable than apple, which is debatable, so I'm surprised that you have not bought a device and loaded Linux, a brilliant OP system which is infinitely versatile and configurable by the user. easy to write your own apps for and as safe as houses.
