iOS vs Android Market Share.


Yesterday I was reading the news about Apple. On Tuesday, they reported the financial results of their fiscal first quarter. One conclusion from this event is that even with record profits, iPhone sales rose by less than 1 percent from a year earlier.

I was checking the Mobile & Tablet operating systems market share data published by netmarketshare.net and this downward trend is clear:

I never owned an iPhone. I really like the quality of the hardware and software produced by this company (In fact, I'm writing this post on a MacBook Air), but I don't like the closed, restricted ecosystem associated with their business model. It's refreshing to see so many different Android devices on the market.
