terminals iPhones break more often than Android ones, according to a new study done on millions of smartphones around the world. This study covers the first 6 months of 2016 and is based on a monitoring software developed by an American company and implemented in some applications.
According to these data, 58% of the terminals iPhone monitored had one problem or another during the monitoring period, 42% not having any problem. In comparison, only 35% of the monitored Android terminals had performance problems, the difference between the two being very large, as you can see.
Among the iPhone terminals with problems, it seems that iPhone 6 breaks most often, iPhone 6S following it closely, at a slightly greater distance being iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6 Plus and finally iPhone 5S. Practically, the iPhone 6 seems to be the most problematic terminal of the Apple company, but you already knew that from the problem screen that breaks.
Moving on now to Android, you can see that the rate of problems is lower, but in the list of Android terminals that have the most problems we find the manufacturer Samsung, Following it, at a fairly large distance, we find Lenovo, LeTV, Motorola and ASUS, but only Lenovo terminals and LeTV are in the top 5.
iPhone breaks more often because of applications
Samsung sells many more smartphones than any of the mentioned manufacturers, so it is perfectly normal to have the most terminals with problems. This has been reported year after year and when you sell hundreds of millions of units annually, it is normal to have problems, even if the percentages show a worse situation than the real one.
Most iPhone terminals break in the USA, 59% of the total, followed by Asia with 52%, the rest of the regions having much lower percentages. In the case of Android, the situation is reversed, Asia having 41% and the USA 29%, and the situation is logical since in Asia many more products with the Android operating system are sold.
Now if we move on to the causes of these problems, 65% of them reported on the iPhone have to do with applications that close suddenly, 11% with Wi-Fi, 4% with the GSM function, 4% with the cellular data connection, 2% with the receiver and the rest are much too small problems to be mentioned further.
In the case of Android, 10% of the problems are with the camera, 10% with the charging system, 7% with the touch screen system, 5% with the loudspeaker and 5% with the microphone, so we are talking about more serious problems than those recorded in the case of iDevice- ures, where applications seem to be the main problem.
It is surprising to see that in iOS there are more problems with applications than in Android, considering the way in which the Apple ecosystem is thought, but this is what this study tells us. According to him, 50% of the applications in the monitored iPhone terminals closed suddenly in Q2 2016, while only 23% of the Android ones had the same problem.
Basically, iPhone breaks more often than Android, but only for applications have problems, not necessarily because there are physical problems with the devices.
