Operating systems for smartphones are key players in the industry, but it seems like one dominates so clearly the market as no other has any space to offer anything. We are talking here about Google’s Android of course, which is installed on more than 84 percent of the smartphones from the market. With a bit more than 11 percent, Apple comes from behind and that is about all right now, even though Microsoft and BlackBerry are also well known OS. Still, they are struggling to get in front.
IOS is for business!
The purpose of this article isn’t a comparison between the brands, but a glance of how things may change in only a few years. Yes, a few years, exactly! Because, at some point, the Canadian producer, BlackBerry that is, dominated the market for smartphone operating system. Still, its services remain among the most used when it comes for enterprises because its superior security measures. In the business enterprise Apple is the dominant OS far ahead Android, with more than 40 percent ahead!
Future predictions
So, what we are learning from here? Elaborate and more quality is searched by few so you have to work at something which is on the taste of the majority, of every human being on this planet. Don’t know for sure what statistics will show a couple of years from now on in this sector, let’s say… 5 years, maybe, but it is a situation to follow! To see how things are working with Android, iOS, Windows and BlackBerry at this moment, read the few following words.
"BlackBerry's highly encrypted operating system was once the main, if not the only, choice for regulated industries such as government agencies, financial and health care institutions with high data-security requirements. However, BlackBerry's comparatively mediocre device portfolio, coupled with the cost advantages on Microsoft's free mobile exchange, resulted in many enterprises embracing BYOD solutions. I believe it is safe to assume that iOS and Android will continue to dominate the market. While the Windows Phone OS provides tremendous remote capabilities to IT managers, Microsoft devices are not widely deployed across enterprises. Both iOS and Android offer quite versatile SDKs, serving developers across all industries, and there is little incentive for developers shifting focus away to other alternatives", said Brad Akyuz, director of Connected Intelligence at NPD Group, told Tech Times.
