As an Apple patron, just the thought of moving from an iPhone to an Android is enough to get you agitated and disgruntled. Android overtook Apple’s iOS app store to lead in number of downloaded apps. With 44% share vs. Apple’s 31%, Android users are now downloading more mobile programs than iPhone and iPad users combined. This is despite the Android Market only having 319,161 apps at the end of last month vs. the Apple App Store’s 459,589. The reason for this sudden leaving of Apple in the dust is that worldwide shipments of Android phones is over twice that of the iPhone, so the share is less impressive given that iOS users are downloading two apps on average and Android users are only downloading one. The current scenario seems to be to be quite exciting for both iOS and Android users. They are two great platforms, each with some unique strengths and access to vast quantities of apps. Applications in “The App Store” are targeted at iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads, and may make use of specific attributes of those devices, such as motion sensors for game controls and cameras for online video calling. Apps may be downloaded for free or for a set cost, and they may include in-app monetization. Making a decision between Apple apps and Android apps is largely a matter of preference. There’s a lot to love and perhaps hate, but such things are highly subjective. Which apps do you prefer – Apple or Android?
