Desi cei de la Apple nu au suflat vreo vorba in legatura cu numarul de iDevice-uri activate in weekend-ul Craciunului, analistii americani fac presupuneri cu privire la cererea inregistrata de compania din Cupertino. Conform unui analist la Fortune Magazine, Apple ar fi activat 4.2 milioane de iDevice-uri in prima zi de Craciun, o cifra absolut impresionanta care include terminale iPhone/iPod Touch si tablete iPad. Informatiile prezentate de analistul american vin de la Flurry care sustine ca 6.8 milioane de terminale iOS si Android au fost activate in ziua de Craciun.
According to Flurry Analytics — which claims it can detect “roughly 100%” of all new smartphone and tablet activations by monitoring its clients’ 140,000 apps — a total of 6.8 million iOS and Android devices got activated around the world on Christmas Day, a 353% increase from Christmas 2010. According to Google’s Andy Rubin, who likes to release data material to his company on Twitter, a total of 3.7 million Android devices were activated on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. (Via TechCrunch.)
A week earlier, Rubin had tweeted that daily activations of Android devices now exceed 700,000. UPDATE: In the past, Christmas Eve activations have been about 50% higher than normal. If we assume (based on our update) that at least 1.1 million Android devices were activated on Christmas Eve, the number activated on Christmas Day could not exceed 2.6 million.
Preluand informatiile oferite de Flurry plus cele oferite de Andy Rubin aseara si in cursul saptamanii trecute, analistul de la Fortune Magazine sustine ca 2.6 milioane de terminale Android ar fi fost activate in ziua de Craciun. Facand o comparatie cu cifrele celor de la Apple rezulta ca exista o diferenta de 1.6 milioane de terminale activate intre cele doua companii. Astazi Andy Rubin spunea ca 3.7 milioane de terminale Android au fost activate in 24 si 25 decembrie deci teoretic Apple ar fi activat macar vreo 5.5 – 6 milioane in aceeasi perioada. Perioada sarbatorilor pare sa fi fost extrem de profitabila pentru Apple insa mai multe vom afla in ianuarie.
Totul reprezinta simple presupuneri deci luati informatiile cu o mare doza de neincredere.
