Njengoba i-Apple yethule uhlelo ukuze ukufuduka kwedatha kusuka esigungwini se-Android kuya ku-iPhone kube inqubo elula kakhulu, uTim Cook ubelokhu esho njalo ukuthi inani labasebenzisi abavela ku-Android lalikhula, okusho ukuthi abasebenzisi abaningi be-Android beza kungxenyekazi ye-Apple ngingajabule ngomsamo.
Asazi noma lokhu kufuduka komsebenzisi bekungokwesikhashana noma ukufika kwabasebenzisi be-Android kumile okwesikhashana, ngoba ngokusho kwedatha evela kubathengi boCwaningo Lwabathengi, ukuzibophezela kwabasebenzisi be-Android kule pulatifomu kuphakeme kakhulu kunalokho kwabasebenzisi be-iOS.
Ngokwalolu cwaningo, ukwethembeka kwabasebenzisi bengxenyekazi ye-Android ngo-2017 kwakungu-91% ngenkathi ukwethembeka kwabasebenzisi be-iOS kwakungu-86%. Ngo-2016, ukwethembeka kwabasebenzisi be-Android kwakuphakathi kuka-89 no-91% kanti okwabasebenzisi be-iOS kwakuphakathi kuka-85 no-88%. Ukuzibandakanya komsebenzisi nohlelo lokusebenza kulinganiswe ngu- iphesenti lamakhasimende ahlala nengxenyekazi ngayinye ngemuva kokuvula ifoni entsha ezinyangeni eziyishumi nambili ezizayo.
Ukwethembeka abakukhombisile bobabili abasebenzisi be-Android ne-iOS bakhuphuke phakathi kuka-2015 no-2016 lapho idatha ibekelwa zombili izinhlelo zokusebenza. Ngokusho kwenhloko yocwaningo, ukwethembeka akukaze kuphakame kuze kube manje. kucatshangelwa ukuthi njengamanje kunezinhlelo ezimbili kuphela zokusebenza emakethe, uma abasebenzisi bekhethe eyodwa noma enye, benza utshalomali kuzinhlelo zokusebenza nemikhiqizo, baba amakhasimende athembekile endaweni yesikhulumi, inhloso enkulu yawo womabili amapulatifomu, ikakhulukazi i-Apple, ngoba i-ecosystem yayo ivaliwe kakhulu futhi ibekelwe umkhawulo kunalokho esingakuthola ku-Android.
Bengilokhu ngisebenzisa i-iPhone kusukela i-iPhone 4S futhi kuze kube yilapho i-IOS yokugcina ingisebenzele kahle, kepha ngokufika kwalokhu ngifuna ukubuyela ku-Android.
