According to recent research by Statista, ‘Android maintained its position as the leading mobile operating system worldwide, controlling the mobile OS market with a close to 70 percent share, while iOS accounted for around 25 percent of the mobile operating system market.’
According to BusinessOfApps, Android is the most popular operating system in the world, with over 2.5 billion active users spanning over 190 countries. Smart Phone and mobile device manufacturers using the Android platform include Samsung, Motorola, LG, Huawei, Vivo, Oppo and Xlaomi.
Your business has decided to create a hybrid mobile application – perhaps for the consumer market, perhaps for a business application to be used by your team members within the enterprise. No matter the type, industry, purpose or concept, a mobile application development project is complicated and should be handled by a skilled, experienced team to ensure that the requirements, design, development, testing and implementation are accurate, cost-effective, timely and supportive of your business goals and objectives.
In February of 2022, Statcounter estimated the share of the smart phone market to be 70.97% Android and 28.27% iOS. If your business is looking to build a mobile application, the decision to choose a native vs. hybrid mobile application approach, and for native apps, the decision to choose Android vs. Apple, is not as simple as choosing the manufacturer with the largest market share.
