Android is the most used operating system for mobile terminals in the world, it currently has a market share of 76.6%, 4 times higher than that of iOSof the According to those from IDC, who published statistics on the global market shares of the main operating systems for mobile terminals, at the moment iOS and Android OS controls 96.3% of the smartphone market. The figure is colossal and demonstrates how popular these operating systems and the products that run them are, making them forget the rest of the operating systems released so far for mobile devices.
If in Q4 2014 the market share of Android decreased while that of iOS increased, for the whole year 2014 things are completely different, Android- having a total increase at the expense of the iOS operating system. Although the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), managed to substantially increase the sales of iPhones in 2014, the increase was lower than that recorded in the case of Android terminals and this is fully reflected in the market shares of the operating systems. Now it matters less that Apple has a percentage plus or minus to its share of the pie since it is impossible to reach Android, and Windows Phone has a lot to recover to reach iOS.
That being said, Google and Apple have created amazing operating systems that are used by over 1 billion people on the planet, and the number will continue to grow amid a growing interest in smartphones.
