Mobile operating systems have come a long way, from epoc which later transformed into symbian. The smartphones of the world currently are under the lordship of android and ios.
Technology enthusiasts have always been lured by this eternal question: which is the best OS? You’ll find multiple articles dumped on the internet where writers have already declared the winner and losers. In my opinion, this question itself is regressive as technology is all about introduction, evolution, and decline.
Operating systems as we know them have been around us in many forms starting from PCs to wearables. Mobile OS saw the light of development in the 90s and by the next decade, it evolved into something more powerful and better. From being clumsy and rigid it turned into something more useful and this change took a considerable amount of time. As with everything, technology itself matures and evolves. While the formative years witnessed the rise and popularity of Symbian and Blackberry OS, the current scenario strongly indicates that now this popularity has shifted towards iOS and Android. Both of them were unveiled in 2007. While Android laid the foundation of Open Handset Alliance – a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices, Apple’s iOS has always powered their devices such as the iPod Touch (September 2007) and the iPad (January 2010). As of now, Apple’s App Store contains more than 2.2 million iOS applications, 725,000 of which are native for iPads and they have collectively been downloaded more than 130 billion times.
At the core of every technology lies simplicity which comes after constant advancements and progress. This entire mobile ecosystem which is making our lives easy has received support from multiple channel partners which were non-existent before. Strong mobile developer ecosystem has generated billions in revenue for parent companies like Google and Apple.
