Apple's ecosystem control and limited third-party exposure shielded its devices from the defect, unlike Windows devices experiencing a global IT outage.
Many businesses faced disruptions from the 'blue screen of death' on Microsoft devices, while Mac users remained unaffected, attributed to the controlled Apple ecosystem.
Apple's tight control over iOS products and lack of third-party engagements result in fewer cybersecurity vulnerabilities compared to Windows, according to analysts.
The issue causing the global outage was a defective update, not a cyberattack, clarified by CrowdStrike, with a fix already deployed.
