Apple vs Android

Is Apple more Innovative than Android?

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Android has a lion’s share in the worldwide smartphone market. If compared to the users of iOS. However, if we consider the statue of the latest version of these operating systems, we will get to see that not many of Android users have migrated to the latest and updated version of Android platform but, as much as 90 percent of the iOS users have already migrated to the latest iOS version and the trend of migration from an older version to the newer is constant. 

According to a blog posted at Market Land, the latest and updated version of iOS is witnessing more migration than the latest Android OS. Many users of Android OS are still using the previous version of Android OS – Gingerbread, instead of moving on to the latest version Jelly Bean. At the same time, the latest version of Apple’s Operating System – iOS 6 has users more than its previous versions. This clearly means that people look forward to migrate from the earlier iOS version to the latest one as it always has something new to offer and at the same time restores all the facilities that the older version was offering.

 

To make it more precise, we may refer the following pie chart:

Version of iOS running on the iPhone

 

The diagram above shows all the versions of iOS that are running on the iPhone in recent times and the percentage of iPhones on which they are installed. The Pie-Chart makes it very clear that fewer than 8 percent of iPhone owners are using the previous version of iOS and mostly have migrated to the latest version – iOS 6.

Version Of iOS running on the iPad

 

 

Not only iPhone, but the majority of iPad users prefers to migrate from an older version to the latest version. The Pie-Chart above makes it very clear that almost 83 percent of iPad users have installed iOS 6. Taken together, nearly 90 percent of iPhone and iPad users are on the latest version of the operating system.

However, if we compare these statistics with the Android OS, we will find that Android users are still stuck with the older version and have opted not to move on to the latest aversion. From this we could infer that the latest version of Android OS is lacking the functionality and features that was there in the old version and that’s what is keeping the users from migrating to the latest version.

 

The following Pie-Chart will clarify it more appropriately:

The statistics above are strongly suggesting the innovation of iOS platform; that the Apple Inc. keeps its promise of delivering better solution with each latest version and users like it nonetheless. Google, unlike Apple, is left behind and Android is unable to woe its users to migrate from the older version of OS to the latest version. Almost 37 percent of Android users are still using Gingerbread and have denied moving to the latest version of Android OS - Jelly Bean
