Android growth outpaces iPhone

There is no denying that iPhone rules the smartphone world of today. Apple just sold 5.2 million iPhones last quarter, a 626 percent increase from the previous Q2. The iPhone OS accounts for 47 percent of smartphone request according to AdMob. Apple also claims 32 percent of the handset industry operating profits. The numbers are impressive, but how long can iPhone remain at the top? We could argue for hours on all sorts of different metrics, but I think the most important leading indicator is developers . Apple owes much of its iPhone success to the App Store and the community that sprung up around it. Everyone has seen the massive “ There’s an app for that ” campaign. Recent numbers suggest there are 65,000 apps that have been downloaded over 1.5 billion times.
