New Android is more stable than iOS. But who really go … – dobreprogramy

People complain about the instability of Android just lose an argument, which use the extremely common – recent statistics show that the latest version of the robotic system is even more stable than iOS from Apple. Of course, it is worth to take into account additional factors, which slow down even the best overlay equipment manufacturer, and the availability of Android 5.0 Lollipop, which is almost none.

Studies on the stability of the application and the number of their failure was carried out by Crittercism, which specializes in this kind of tasks. Unfortunately for Apple, the statistics are not very favorable for the latest version of iOS 8. Percentage of failure is because about 2.2%. In the case of version 7, the rate was 1.9%, now is a little bit bigger. At the same time, greatly improved stability on Android. Fifth version speaking the name Lollipop include failures in 2% of cases. For the old version has Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) and Kit Kat (4.4.x) was a bit more, since 2,6%.

These results come from nearly a billion users, so it is difficult to talk about that, when testing Android wagered on the best possible terms. Of course, you would use a clean system from Google, and a series of Nexus devices, but their users know that even if you come across a really unusual problems. Newest Android is known for its many niedoróbek, but it seems that neither it nor the transition from Dalvik on ART did not increase the number of problems, on the contrary. Of course, a completely different issue is the availability of this issue: currently working on it only a very narrow group of users (as of the beginning of the month, saying with a range of only 1.6%), and there is no indication that producers wished to update their old appliances. The report also does not say anything about speed, so in many cases the system can be stable, but at the same time and as a result free uncomfortable – all thanks to the heavy overlays producers and preinstalled appl ications.

Of course, such results could be used for acute criticize Apple, but with such an assessment is worth a little pause. The new version of iOS is a huge number of innovations: the eighth version introduced until 4000 new APIs, and a new programming language Swift. It had to degrade stability, but is also the price for extending the possibilities of developers, and the effects of their first work. Let us also remember that under the control of iOS 8 has been running over 75% of Apple devices, the rate of adoption of this system is so incomparably greater than the new Android. Subsequent updates of both the system and applications can (but not necessarily) improve stability. For the end user system should not be relevant, it is important that each of them was as far as possible the most reliable.
