"Many Of Apple Customers Are People Who Bought Android By Mistake, And Now Sought A Better Experience"
"Android fragmentation is turning devices into a toxic hellstew of vulnerabilities..."
During the recently held Worldwide Developers Conference, Tim Cook, Apple CEO actually directly downgraded Android, the free operating system used by most competing mobile-phone companies, such as Samsung.
"Many of these customers were switchers from Android. They had bought an Android phone, by mistake, and then sought a better experience. And a better life. And decided to check out iPhone and iOS." A statement for which Cook got a great audience laugh.
According to Cook, "Nearly half of our customers in China in the past six months switched from Android to iPhone. This is incredible." About 89% of Apple users are on iOS 7, according to the most recent Apple release. Yet only 9% of Android users are on KitKat, the most recent Android system. "Some are on [Android] from four years ago — that's like ancient history!" Cook said.
"Less than 1 out of 10 of their customers are on their latest versions," Cook said. "That means these customers are not getting great new features. They're not able to run the latest apps, and they're not getting security updates they need to stay safe."
This speech by Tim Cook looks like it was based on facts. But really, not minding what Cook has to say, is Apple really better than Android? Which will you rather go for?
