Global usage of iOS has dropped below Android for the first time, according to data from NetApplications.
In June 2014, iOS had 45.61% operating system market share (usage wise) compared to 43.75% for Android. That dropped to 44.19% in July while Android increased to 44.62%, surpassing iOS.
Usage of Apple' mobile operating system has declined significantly by percentage since last year. In July 2013 it had 58.26% market share.
Take a look at the charts below for more details...
android and iphones are the same - August 6, 2014 at 4:26am
has anyone here tried out or read about the up coming updates for the nexus line devices? honestly they are close to being on par with the iphones now. I have both and kitkat came up a little short but man does android L look promising...ly beautiful!
With tweaks on my iPhone, I use winterboard to choose over hundreds of icon styles even add 3d and grow/shrink effects to them when moving to another section of full screen of apps. The beauty of jb iOS.
and then when ios 8 comes out you have to unjailbreak it and install ios 8 and then pray that they release the jailbreak for it... trust me, i am a jailbreaking legend when it comes to iphones. I unlocked the first iphone to be used on T-mobile. I downloaded the famous "I am rich app" for free. It gets boring after a while and tedious... we just want a phone that looks great and oh yea keep the updates rolling please! because I LOVE the fresh new looks EVERYTIME!
Well, with the crappy economy more people have to settle for one of those numerous free or cheap android phones out there. The rest of us still use the iPhone. I'm sure that'll pick up again with the new iPhone release in spite of this statistic.
Considering Apple's releasing a new device for like a yearly basis and Android got Samsung, LG, HTC, Motorola, and many many many more which releases a loads of new devices that have different variants for like a monthly basis... Android will surely catch up.
It's how much they miss out or just want less for an operating system or they don't listen like they think android's better when they don't know how much malware it was made of.
have you ever tried the nexus phones? they are actually pretty good. Androids can do pretty much anything iphones can do now. do this for me, watch the android L google i/o conference. seriously its very impressive.
I saw most of it, design it slightly better than windows tasteless shit though, but compared to iOS does it have any transparency or contrast? What about some dimensions when moving it around similar to parallax? Compared to fire, the "3d" doesn't pop out like the 3ds does, all it does is change icons sides or view building differently, just to give a better idea here.
SLIGHTLY?! are you sure you are looking at it right? It was made by an ex-apple designer! See? I bet that made you think twice didn't it?....
ok it wasnt made by an apple designer, but this is actually the brilliant apple-style design. this is what apple would've put on their phone if android hadnt representeded first! seriously it looks so smooth and so clean! to be honest with you its just another theme, but several things have changed places where buttons use to be have been moved elsewehere to better tune where we want first and what we would do last. I've use the nexus 5 kitkat for a while i sold it because i believe that android should be envious of only one thing from the iphone... yes camera! the iphone's camera is superb! (for a camera phone). But the galaxy s5 camera only has shown some serious promise. Look at the photo review its insane! i love the resolution. Anyways android L has also adapted ART or ahead of time code... which was suppose to be an impossible thing for android because it was fused into the core of android... but now its been fixed... its pretty incredible!
