We made this conclusion based on the summary statistics of the Liveinternet service on the Runet. This interesting service allows you to find and analyze various information. Today we will count some more interesting figures: how many Russians have bought Apple equipment, what percentage of people in Russia use Android smartphones, and what is the share mobile devices in general in relation to computers today.
So here is the usage statistics summary various devices for visiting Runet sites for April 2015.
Liveinternet Statistics
It reflects the number of visits to sites where the LiveInternet counter is installed from different countries, so for calculations in Russia, you need to know the share of the Russian audience. Here she is.
Visitor count report Using this data, we can approximate many interesting figures.
Interesting usage information Russians of the Internet
Android OS - The share of Russians among Runet visitors is 62%. For further calculations, we will use a direct proportion.
- To access the Internet Russians use 94 million different mobile and stationary devices(smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops).
- The total share of mobile devices in everyday life is 53%, if laptops are attributed to stationary equipment (there is no technical possibility to calculate the proportion of laptops).
- The share of penetration of the Internet in Russia for 2015 is still below 50%. It is impossible to give exact data, many users have Internet access configured from work, from a home PC, from a tablet and smartphone.
Now more about mobile technology.
Market share of iOS and Android in Russia for 2015
As of April 2015, Russians have bought and use almost 10 million iPhones of various generations. You can add 3 million iPads and more than 850 thousand to Apple's share in Russia Mac computers. In total, about 14 million Apple devices have been sold in Russia.
There are 35 million smartphones and tablets on Android in Russia.
Windows phone- 1.2 million devices. This is less than the old smartphones under Symbian - there are still 2 million of them.
Let's repeat it is only about technology connected to the Internet. But today, most smartphones are connected to it. The exception is a decent proportion of pensioners, whose children and grandchildren buy modern technology only for phone calls. As a rule, the share of Apple mobile phone users among this category of the population is small, we can talk about an even larger share of Android.
According to the available actual data, out of 51 million mobile devices connected to the Internet, the share of Apple equipment in Russia is about 25%, and smartphones and tablets of various brands under Android control occupy 69% of the mobile device market.
The calculation may contain an error. For example, in poorer Ukraine, the share of iPhone users may actually be lower, and due to this, it is slightly higher in Russia. On the whole, the given data fairly accurately reflect the state of affairs in the Russian mobile market in 2015.
gadget war Android And Apple switch to quality new level. Experts from IDC - a company that provides analytical reports on market conditions information technologies and telecommunications for 50 years predict a decline in sales of smartphones from Apple.
Analysts state several interconnected trends:
- The share of smartphones from Apple in 2016 will be only 14.3%.
- The share of Android-smartphones will be 85% by the end of 2016.
- Windows Phone by the end of the year managed to sell only a little more than 6 million devices, or 0.4%.
- OS Windows Phone - 0.3%.
It is worth noting that by 2020 Android and iOS will occupy almost the entire market, accounting for 99.8% of sales in total. At the same time, the "green robot" will account for 85.6% of all products. "Apple Giant" will remain on the market for quite a long time, delighting customers with its innovations, but the company will have to make room. 2016 is the first year of declining shipments for Apple products. But nobody is going to bury the company.
The report also states: "It's no secret that the Android OS has been and will remain the main platform for most smartphones for the foreseeable future."
"Hackers are getting smarter"
Analysts from Check Point managed to detect virus programs for devices based on Android. According to expert estimates, software hacked about 1.3 million accounts on Google services.
The malware was named Gooligan. It became known that the malware infects devices on Android 4 and Android 5 and steals addresses Email, as well as the personal data that is stored there.
At the Check Point press conference, it was noted that thanks to stolen data, hackers can gain access to applications containing sensitive personal data such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Play, Google Drive and G Suite.
In the 4th quarter of 2016, the leading players in the mobile device market. There, Apple took the lead, beating Samsung at the photo finish. Next in line are statistics on the share of Android, iOS and others operating systems on the market in the 4th quarter of 2016.
Share of Android: 81.7%
The fact that the share of Android-devices is higher, no one doubted for a minute. Intrigue in exact numbers and dynamics. According to the American company Gartner, specializing in the analysis of the information technology market, the share of Android in the 4th quarter of 2016 was 81.7%. 352.5 million devices running this operating system have been sold worldwide.
In total, in the 4th quarter of 2016, 431.5 million smartphones were sold worldwide.
Share of iOS: 17.9%
The share of iOS was 17.9%, and a total of 77,038,900 devices were sold running the apple operating system. Given that iOS is exclusively on smartphones from Cupertino, the performance can be called excellent.
A serious argument in favor of iOS, and with it any iPhone, is a quick, easy and timely software update. We talked about other advantages of apple software in a publication.
Android and iOS Market Share Dynamics
It is not so much the indicators themselves that are interesting, but their dynamics. Compared to the same reporting period in 2015, Android's market share increased by 1%. The market share of iOS also increased by 0.2%, but Windows is rapidly losing ground. The fall by 0.8% suggests that the experiment with the development of new digital territories seems to be time to put an end to it.
We won't remember BlackBerry soon, just as we don't remember the "other operating systems" installed on the 530,000 phones sold in the 4th quarter of 2016.
Today we will not give the next subjective opinions of individuals about who is still the queen of mobile operating systems. The debate between fans of the bitten apple and the green robot often overlooks such an important thing as facts. What do the facts say?
Whose smartphones sell best in the US
Despite the fact that the American market is very far from us, it is still one of the largest in the world, which means it makes a decisive contribution to the global distribution of smartphone sales, so let's start with it. In the middle of November, 2012 Kantar Worldpanel Comtech provided data on sales of smartphones on Android and iPhone, and then shares of these OS were equal to 51.2% and 43.5% respectively. Despite subsequent jumps in performance, as competitors took turns rushing into first place, the overall picture between November 2012 and February 2013 remained unchanged:
Next comes a study from ComScore MobiLense, which took into account all smartphone users over the age of 13. Important note: here the statistics are not for the period, but covers the entire past up to the present moment. That is, over the years of development and distribution of smartphones, by January 2013, the ratio of Android and iOS owners in the United States looks like this:
Whose smartphones sell best around the world
We have dealt with the United States, and now the figures that are more important from the point of view of objectivity are world indicators. According to IDC, in the fourth quarter of 2012, Android accounted for 70.1% of all smartphones sold, while Apple had 21%.
Whose tablets sell best around the world
Who sells more in the world
From a variety of manufacturers Android smartphones we single out only Samsung as the only "dominator". The rest of the android manufacturers go as "& Co", but they all also make Android devices. Here's how things were in the 4th quarter of 2012 on a global scale.
Who sells more in the US
Strategy Analytics reported that in the 4th quarter of 2012, Apple won by a small margin in the US market.
Who makes more money
Data based on Canaccord Genuity study. In fact, this item has little to do with operating systems, but still.
Who has more applications
Even if company X releases the world's best OS tomorrow, it still won't attract anyone until it can boast an app store... a big app store. Note that by now both operating systems have more than 800 thousand applications, and with such a number, further comparison is generally meaningless - and there and there, in general, everything you can want.
We will not write anything about the ratio of applications tailored for tablets, because we could not find the necessary data on Android.
Who has the best apps
uTest is a company that collects ratings and reviews of all applications from Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Then the data is transferred to a scale of 0-100, and by January 2013 the situation was as follows:
In other words, some average iOS application 5.3% better than the Android app.
Which OS users download more apps
Canalys cites statistics that in the first quarter of 2013 every second app download was an Android app.
Who makes more money on apps
Again money - again Apple is out of competition. Data from Canalys for the first quarter of 2013:
Who is more on the Internet
NetMarketShare publishes monthly reports on the shares of various operating systems and browsers on the Web, including mobile ones:
And that's where the fun stuff starts. Research from StatCounter suggests that in March 2013 there was more Android on the Web than iOS.
Perhaps the whole point is the incorrectness of the technologies used to collect information from a particular company, but in general the moral is this: do not believe the statistics.
Who is more in the business sector
Citrix showed distribution of mobile OS in corporate sector for the 4th quarter 2012:
Outcome
And what is the result? We see that in various aspects the advantage passes from one giant to another, and it is not possible to give an objective answer to the eternal question. Topic closed?
