Apple’s iOS platform is more widely used than Google’s Android operating system when comparing web usage. Even though Android outranks iOS in terms of overall usage in smart phones, the continued success of the iPad has given Apple an edge with Internet use.
SEO firm ROI365 compiled data on website analytics for both operating systems. The data was drawn from a large number of websites with 4 million unique visitors combined. Mobile phone stats showed “2.89% of the visits coming from Android vs 2.62% coming from iPhone. In December we showed 2.05 for Android and 2.01 for iPhone. But this is not an apples to apples comparison.”
“The Android stats are for the total platform while iOS stats are broken out into 3 categories, iPhone, iPad and iPod. Android has never come close to passing iOS as a whole.”
The firm also noted Andoid’s lead over iPhone website usage “is very slight and has not grown much over the past quarter.”
The iPad 2 has shown to improve the popularity of iOS over Android even though Android has a leg up when it comes to using mobile phone browsers.
“So while the entire Android platform with all of their partners, models, phones and tablets has outgrown the single iPhone 4 by 40.98% to 30.35% the past 4 months, iPad is outgrowing the entire Android ecosystem so significantly [that] it more than makes up for the iPhone deficiency plus some. And it just launched 3 weeks ago and millions of people who want them can’t get their hands on them yet.”
It’s also no surprise Apple is leaving Google in the dust in regards to mobile apps. Last year, revenue for Android apps paled in comparison to that of iOS app sales. Apple earned 11 times greater revenue with their apps than Google saw with theirs. Apple currently enjoys an 82.7 percent share of all mobile software sales with its App Store.
With the demand for iPad 2 overwhelming suppliers, it may be safe to say iOS will continue to surpass Android in overall use for the foreseeable future.
