Do you often ask yourself how is the market share of Apple systems compared to the universe of competitors? Valuable tip: this is a data updated month by month by the site staff NetMarketShare, which has statistics on all possible aspects when it comes to using operating systems or browsers.
Of course, it is not up to us or the press in general to write about the small variations in the market share iOS or whatever every 30 days; even so, from time to time, it is good to update the scenario with the most current data so that we can discuss the trends and have a clearer idea of ​​the situation of Ma and its competitors in this eternal struggle for survival and technological success. So, exactly what we will do next.
Starting with desktop operating systems, as you might imagine, we have a blue sea called Windows snapping up a staggering 91.51% of all active computers in the world in June 2017. The Mac comes in second place, with 6.12%, which represents a minimum decrease in relation to the month of May, when Ma's operating system achieved 6.36% of share; the highest number ever reached by the system was 9.2%, in April 2016. Returning to the current data, the Linux the third wheel of the scheme, with a 2.36% share of nerdy users.
Do you want the division of systems by their versions? Do not be for this reason:
As you can see, the Windows 7 a system already with almost eight years on its back still reigns absolute in the world of personal computers, but its spiritual successor, the current Windows 10, there is already coming: only 49.04% against 26.8%, with a continuous fall of the first and rise of the second if we analyze the previous surveys. In the Mac world, the latest version, Sierra, the most popular, with 3.49% still, it is below the Windows XP It's from Windows 8.1, in addition to the two mentioned above.
Going into the world of mobile OSs, Android also continues its trajectory of global domination, with 64.2% of smartphones and tablets in the world running the robot system against 32.92% equipped with iOS which also suffered a slight drop compared to the previous month, when it had 33.03%. Next, we have “no-say-it-is-dead” Windows Phone, with 0.99%; O Java ME(!), with 0.82%; O Symbian(!!), with 0.74%; it's the BlackBerry, with 0.31%.
He wants more evidence that we are living in a dichotomy of mobile OSs: just take a quick look at this chart with the history of market shares over the past two years:
Notice how the trajectories of iOS and Android basically form a mirror of each other when one goes up, the other goes down and vice versa. This is a clear sign that this is a war with only two sides; It is a war, of course, that Google has all the conditions to continue winning for eternity due to the very nature of Android being shipped on a huge range of devices unlike iOS, which can only be obtained on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch .
Regarding the specific versions of mobile systems, NetMarketShare does not differentiate between iOS releases, separating the system only in “iPhone” (which, in June, had 23.73% of the market) and “iPad” (with 9.13% ). On the other hand, it is interesting to note that the Android 6.0 still the most used version with clearance from the robot, with 21.67%; second, we have a still oldest, the 5.1, with 12.42%; third, we see a oldest yet, a 4.4 (from 2013!), with 9.5%; only then we see the latest Android 7.0, present in 8.07% of the world's smartphones.
In desktop browsers, the Chrome remains with the broad leadership (59.49%), while the indefectible Internet Explorer still holds the second place with a 16.84% share of the market the data, good to note, refer to all combined operating systems. Thirdly, we have the Firefox (12.02%); then interesting to note that the “freshman” Edge, from Microsoft, has already surpassed the Safari in general use it is 5.65% against 3.72% of share. O Opera closes the names with 1.25%.
With mobile browsers again, the survey takes into account all combined systems, the Chrome again it leads the way, with 55.55% of the market. Here, however, the Safari obtain a good mark (reflecting, of course, the greater adoption of iOS in relation to macOS), with 33.17% sufficient for an honorable second place.
