That's the point. Apple keeps going up, Android is going down no matter what the conditions. Impressive. Show me whatever chart you want and Android is still going down or increasing its user base less than Apple. Same market conditions for both. And that's with Samsung spending more on marketing than the entire GNPs of all African contries combined. Africa has more cell phones than America and Europe combined...and those poor bastards would be sure to use a cheap creaky plastic Android over an expansive well built iPhone if they could get either...and Apple still comes out on top!
Android Tablets blow ass. There's no other way to put it. Lack of app support, horrible SDK/store/developer support, and embarrassingly low sales with various OS versions. It can't even beat out....the satin inspired, unholy Surface Sales.
And then there's this:
Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, is confident that Apple’s share price will rise again even though it’s been falling short at the moment, due to future products that will “surprise and shock us all.”
Prepare to be shocked and amazed! Android's been sucking ass the past three months while Apple hasn't released a new product in 5 months, and now they have a new iPad, Mini, and iPhone in the pipe for the next 4 months. Their iPad and Mini iPad are alrady completely dominant will again show #2 who's boss (soon to be #3) by spinning their innovative wheels in the face of the sticky like gum Android devices that lack developer support due to ass SDK and store and an device OS user base splintered more than ever with mega buck marketing Samsung looking to ditch the platform for its own OS.
And for phones, iPhone went from zero to 57% of Verizon's total sales in 3 years...in a "saturated" market...looks like people choose Apple over Android 99% of the time since the market is so "saturated"...otherwise where did all those Verizon iPhone sales come from..whether they're moving carriers or new...it's Apple they want. Not bad Apple...not bad! Not to mention Apple's retention rate...oh...probably because the phone is fucking great. See plentiful charts in previous postings about Androids horrific retention rate...although I hear it's picking up new users in Africa with the a new Creaky Android 2.1 phone made out of recycled tampon containers. *
*btw, the market is saturated. Probably for tablets too....just like the market was "saturated" for cell phones back in 2007 before the iPhone. Zaelath is a genius for pointing this out.
