Not disagreeing with you, but it's interesting that iPhone still dominates Android in metrics that measure actual use (go check android vs iphone in your web logs, for example).
- bane 13y agoYeah, that's true. I wonder if that's an artifact of the sites used by populations in different countries. A U.S. site would bias towards U.S. users which is not entirely dominated by Android devices.
- eli 13y agoI wonder if the availability of really cheap (and often crappy) Android phones skews the stats. At least in the US you can get a "free" one with a new plan. I suspect the people who get those phones are far less likely to use apps or websites. It would be easy enough to test the location theory: just slice your web traffic by country or find someone with a big non-US site
- bane 13y ago> At least in the US you can get a "free" one with a new plan. Unless something has changed, you still end up with a data plan which is expensive if you don't plan on using it at all. I suspect something else is going on with the reported stats, but I'm not sure what it is. I'd really like to see some more in depth research on this phenomenon whatever the cause is.
- eli 13y agoAlso, pretty sure there are more Android devices than Apple even just in the US. http://www.comscore.com/Insights/Press_Releases/2013/11/comScore_Reports_September_2013_U.S._Smartphone_Subscriber_Market_Share http://www.comscore.com/Insights/Press_Releases/2013/11/comS...
