History repeats itself: Android vs iOS is the new “Windows vs OS X” – Antyweb

The market for smartphones nevertheless grew by 4.3 percent compared to the previous year, but this is no consolation for Apple, whose shares have fallen slightly. Apple is measured by how far the drop in sales of key products in the portfolio, but it is nothing extraordinary. Sales declines await all who have invested in the market for smartphones and rescue case, at least for emerging markets. And this is no good news for the Cupertino, the appliances are rather among those more expensive. The current situation is a continuation of a chance for Android, whose cross-section range of devices is really disputes.

We could get an absolute high-enda in the price of the iPhone, but also a very basic configuration “for the buck”. The latter devices are highly sought-after in the emerging markets, where people want to use the new technology, but does not intend to sell on the occasion of the kidneys. Meanwhile, Apple is based always on loyal customers. It does not help him the long life cycle of the equipment – iPhones are long supported and are also little emergency. I know for example m. In Sisters, in which the iPhone 4 further looks and works really decent.

while Android is becoming a leader in absolute and they probably never change. Fight iOS Android resembles the struggle of David and Goliath, and the farther in the rankings, the worse. It seems that iOS and Android are so firmly entrenched in the market that no one and nothing is able to threaten them. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that iOS lost 7.6 percent market share, which is not good news. Similarly, compared to the most important competitor Apple, Samsung – we have the result of 22.3 per cent of the sales for the Koreans, the Cupertino has generated a “poor” 12.9. It is worth remembering that Apple earns a lot on the margins, has a much less accessible portfolio of devices and simultaneously develops them with its own platform.

iOS and Android mobile devices generate a staggering 99.1 percent of the shares. 0.9 is the absolute general cargo, with the inclusion of Windows Mobile, which suffered a defeat in this particular field. The new Lumia devices from Microsoft failed to reverse the downward trend and slowly bury Redmond plan to raise smartphones. Can anything on the market change? Definitely not.
