From the launch of the new iOS 12, watchOS 5, tvOS to macOS Mojave, this year, Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC,) kickstarted with some amazing revelations! Whether or not you are an Apple fan, you can’t really ignore the fact that Apple have some eye grabbing features!
The Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Apple, Mr. Craig Federighi heads the iOS and macOS engineering teams, announced the most anticipated iOS release, iOS 12. Alongside the announcement, Mr. Fedrighi ridiculed the tech giant Google’s operating system, Android. He said that the whole 81 % of iOS device users are on the current version of iOS 11. The recent Android Oreo release by Google, has a mere 6 % installed base. This indicates that Google launches new Android features every year but most of the Android users do not get to use them. Currently, there are more than 2 billion Android users active, but a majority of them are on outdated software. A wide range of Android devices are either on the Nougat version or the Marshmallow version, launched in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Android is really struggling to move the Oreo version to its device users. However, the latest Android P would also be unveiled soon. Well, as per the data revealed by Mr. Federighi, only 6 % users are experiencing the features of Android Oreo. Post the release of Android P, how many users would be able to experience the upcoming updates?
The rivalry between the two tech giants is definitely worth looking! Over the years, Apple and Android have topped the list in terms of competitors! Both the companies strive to bring out the better versions of their software! Looking at the stats, it does look like Apple is heading the competition in comparison to Google! Google really needs to gear up and improve its devices.
Let us wait for the upcoming revelations from the three days event WWDC, that are yet to take place!
