in operates a mode of multiple windows, which improves productivity, and can now be responding from the notification bar. it may not be a big improvement system, but you can definitely say about the step forward.
the biggest problem? Few people see these changes in the near future.
data on the popularity Android version
according to the charts, Google for manufacturers of applications – August 1, 2016 the year only 15.2 percent. Android users were using version 6.0 Marshmallow . It’s still two times more than in May, but still very little as an update that is available for 10 months.
35.5 percent. users use one version of Android 5.0 Lollipop, and 29.2 per cent. uses Android 4.4 KitKat, which appeared at the end of 2013.
Fragmentation is not a new problem for Google, but it’s worth it to recall in the context of the launch of a fresh system. Android is dependent on the manufacturers, who use it, as well as from operators who sell and service these devices . Few companies want to allow your customers to use all the features of smartphones.
Recently, some manufacturers withdrew even Google’owego plan monthly security updates – a system that is not known for data protection is in even worse shape.
These types of problems will not affect Apple. According to the company, up to 87 percent. users iSprzętów used by August 15 with the latest version of the system, or iOS 9 . 10 percent. used the iOS version number 8, which appeared on the market in 2014.

this does not mean of course, that iOS is better than Android. It reminds that Google has on the market a serious problem that Apple’owi managed to get around. On the other hand, it allows to Google take a much higher percentage. market.
Android Nougat not improve the situation. Currently, the only way to download the new version of the system is to buy a Nexus (the device signed by Google). However, even here there are some limitations: Nougat not work on Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013.
Google must make a technical amendment that would allow Android users to independently update the system or change agreement with equipment manufacturers and force them to more frequent updates. They go also rumors that the company could create its own equipment and follow in the footsteps of Apple.
