Everyone knew that day would come, they just didn't know exactly when. But now there is data to confirm that in July (finally) devices with Android operating system were responsible for more mobile Internet traffic than that generated from iOS devices.
The data was revealed by the company NetMarketShare, which is a specialist in this sector of statistics and relies on the data of its (many) customers to measure which operating systems and browsers are most used to access the sites.
Let's go to the data:
- Devices Android : 44,62%
- Devices iOS: 44,19%.
iOS and Android manage to occupy 89% of the web access by mobile devices. Android devices started to gain a lot of ground during 2014, since in September 2013, Android's share was 29%, while iOS devices occupied an overwhelming 54%.
As for the other operating systems:
- Java ME devices (used on low-cost phones): 4,19%
- Symbian (2,57%),
- Windows Phone (2,49%)
- BlackBerry (1,21%)
By this statistic we can see that Microsoft still has a long way to go, but this path begins to be promising with the launch of devices with a lower price.
