Seems like the fear of Apple monoculture is now less of a concern. Android marketshare is larger now then Apple's.

- danieldk 12y agoWorldwide, it is not only larger. iOS is now a tiny blip on the radar, compared to Android: http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp (Of course, iOS users may be outspending Android users, etc.)
- grouperfish 12y agoTechnically yes, but a lot of Android phones are used in lower-income countries and areas as essentially dumbphones. In the high-end smartphone world, Apple is king.
- aikah 12y agoIt doesn't matter if most paying customers are on IOS(which I dont know if it is the case or not,it's just that specific case where global market share is not that relevant). It's a bit like TV,where a tv show can have loads of viewers it doesn't matter,advertisers are interested only in a specific demographic.
