Until this moment, both iOS and Android already confirmed their position as well as importance in the technology showbiz. Each operating system has the specific beauty and limitations but generally, iOS still prevails over Android.
Recently, Apple’s CEO - Tim Cook had boldly declared that 30% of iPhone buyers in the most recent fiscal quarter as users switching from Android. Upon hearing this, many people will probably think and counter: “This man is delusional about iPhone sales!” but in fact it is true, or at least he has basis to proclaim like that.
The latest data shows that up to 26% of people buying iPhone 6S are “acquaintances” of Android, 23% higher than 5S’s time and 12% with iPhone 6. On the other hand, when choosing iPhone and iOS platform, users may not return to Android. Because probably they will be spoiled by the united, high productivity, good standard services, accessories, applications... of Apple. That is why even though Apple’s smartphone line just makes up for only a small part of the big cake called smartphones, it still brings dreamlike profit to “final boss” over the years.
If regularly monitoring technology news lately, you probably know the situation of the unmarketable business in the post-PC times leading many manufacturers to resist. This is the common situation many companies have to face when the sales from products continuously slips down from 10 to 12% per year.
Yet amazingly, even when PC manufacturers are very miserable, the turnover of Mac revives highly than ever. After all, Mac or Apple’s Macbook line has a “heart” similar to what Windows PC or laptop owns, even yields to its competitors in many configurable components. So what helps Mac be interested and selling? It is OS X, Apple’s applications, services or simply wonderful design style that only Apple products possess!
Back to the mobile war, the situation is similar to the surge of iPhone - iOS and the fierce competition to find profit of Android smartphone makers. It is estimated that Samsung’s interest is 24 USD per device sold, HTC is less than with 1 USD; but still more fortunate than Lenovo - Motorola venture when they must subsidize 3 USD for each product.
Normally, Android phones will have very high configuration parameters (many times over iPhone) but when comparing an Android flagship with the latest iPhone model, the performance results always lean toward iOS. However, that is not the fault of Samsung, LG or HTC... but by fragmentation, lack of deep cohesion between hardware –software elements. In this respect, Apple is once again able to smile when they have an ecosystem written specifically for the devices they manufacture, together with the favor for programmers and service supply chains...
Generally, to compete well and make users purchase more in the future, the family members of the green robot must know very well how to optimize their equipment. Besides, monopolistic services, utilities are also very necessary to draw people like the way that Apple is doing. Come on, Android!
