Android's Dominance in the Smartphone Market
Android has captured a significant portion of the smartphone market, boasting a remarkable 71% share worldwide. Its popularity can be attributed to various factors, with affordability being a key advantage.
According to Phone Arena, in some markets, such as India, where budget-conscious consumers hold sway, Android devices dominate sales with a staggering 95% market share.
The availability of Android phones at diverse price points ensures a broader reach, resonating well with consumers from various economic backgrounds.
iOS's Dedicated User Base
Despite Android's widespread adoption, iOS maintains a devoted user base, commanding 28% of the smartphone market.
Apple's iPhones have long been admired for their sleek design, seamless user experience, and integration within the Apple ecosystem. This ecosystem includes iPads, Mac computers, and other Apple devices, offering users a seamless and interconnected experience that fosters brand loyalty.
Mosseri's comment on the Threads app only shows that the improvement of the existing operating systems is evident. This might push Apple to roll out enhancements as it readies for the upcoming launch of iPhone 15 soon.
In other news, Instagram reportedly prohibited some EU users from using the Threads via VPN. This happened after the EU said that Meta should comply first in line with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
