All of you must be curious to know what the big thing is which apple
does better. Apple’s adoption of iOS 8 device to a huge extend make
apple better than android. Around 81% of Apple devices have iOS 8, 17%
device still on iOS 7 and the rest 2% working of iOS 6 or earlier. So
this is what makes Google’s Android way more fragmented than the Apple’s
iOS.
According to Google Reports, only 5.4% of all Android devices run the
latest version of Android (5.0 or 5.1). Among the rest left, around
41.4% still runs on the KitKat which was released 2 years back and the
rest run on even an older version of Android. So what is Apple making to
keep its users so updated while Google is lacking behind in it.
Fragmentation is an important part for both the companies. As the older
version cannot run the new features, latest updates of the new versions
of OS is required to keep the user updated with the present technology.
The older version does not support the smart watches which are trending
these days.

Apple’s iOS being a closed-source is able to control the hardware
and delivers over-the-air updates to all its user and keeps them
updated. Whereas Google’s Android is open-source which means the
companies and users can modify the OS according to their needs. This
makes Google powerless to provide updates to all the devices. Around 29%
of all Android devices in the world are forked (modified android).
A mobile’s fragmentation is big blind spot that investors should be
aware of. Google is helpless in providing the newest features to its
users. This results of huge difference in the no. of Android devices
that stand against the Apple’s latest iOS which later affects the market
shares. Google has to find a way to push its entire hardware partner to
upgrade all the Android devices to Lollipop 5.0 or the situation may
get worse over time.
