I-Android iyaqhubeka, ngaphandle kokungabaza, ukuhola umhlaba wezinhlelo zokusebenza zamaselula ngokuya ngenani labasebenzisi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi isistimu yokusebenza ingasebenza ezinhlobonhlobo zamadivayisi avela kumikhiqizo ehlukene. Noma kunjalo, I-iOS ikwazile ukunciphisa isabelo sayo semakethe ngamaphesenti amakhulu eminyakeni yamuva.
Ngokuvumelana ne Idatha ye-StockApps, i-Android ilahlekelwe u-8% wesabelo semakethe eminyakeni engu-5 edlule futhi okuningi kwalokhu kulahlekelwa kungenxa yokwanda kokusetshenziswa kwabasebenzisi bohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Apple, iOS. NgoJulayi 2019, i-Android ibibusa indawo yeselula ngesabelo semakethe esingu-77,32%.. Nokho, kule minyaka engu-5 edlule, leli phesenti lehle kakhulu laya ku-69,74%. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, I-iOS ikhuphule isabelo sayo semakethe yomhlaba wonke isuka ku-19,4% yaya ku-25,49%, okusho ukuthi inyuke ngo-6%.
Nakuba izizathu eziqondile zalo mkhuba wemakethe zingacacile ngokuphelele, I-Apple ifake yonke imizamo yayo ekwandiseni umugqa womkhiqizo wayo ukuze ufinyelele izinhlobo eziningi zezethameli. Amadivayisi afana ne-iPhone SE noma i-iPad kusukela ekuqaleni akhuthaze umphakathi omkhulu ukuthi uthole amadivayisi we-iOS ngentengo encishisiwe.
Ngokusho kukangoti wezezimali u-Edith Reads, I-Android isenenzuzo ngenxa yemvelo yayo yomthombo ovulekile iqhathaniswa ne-iOS. Njengoba sesivele sazi, i-iOS itholakala kuphela kumadivayisi e-Apple, kodwa kunezinkulungwane zamadivayisi ahlukene (amaphilisi, ama-smartphones…) asebenzisa i-Android namuhla. Esinye isizathu ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthola amadivaysi ashibhe kakhulu ngaphandle kwe-ecosystem ye-Apple.
Umbiko we-StockApps ubonisa ukuthi ezifundeni ezifana neNingizimu Melika noma i-Afrika, i-Android ibusa kakhulu imakethe njengoba izisetshenziswa ze-Apple zibiza kakhulu kuneziqhudelana nazo kulezi zifunda. ENingizimu Melika, i-10% kuphela yamadivayisi ayi-iOS ngenkathi iseNyakatho Melika, i-Apple ithatha isabelo esingafika ku-50%.
Ngaphandle kwakho konke lokhu, isu leCupertino lokwethula izisetshenziswa ezishibhile lisebenza kahle kakhulu futhi asikhiphi ukuthi isu ngokwalo lizoqhubeka nokukhula ngenani kanye nohlobo lwamadivayisi ezinyangeni ezizayo.
