Android reached 1 billion shipments milestone in 2014
Strategy
Analytics last week revealed that
Android reached a huge new milestone in 2014. For the first time
ever, more than 1 billion devices were shipped with the Android OS.
This
trounces iPhone sales,
CNET reports. Apple sold just 192.7 million units in the same time
period. According to Strategy Analytics, Android devices were 81% of
all smartphones sold last year. The global smartphone market also
increased 30%, to 1.3 billion from 1 billion.
Microsoft's
3% market share is little more than a footnote, and all others
combined come to less than 1%.
This
record-breaking lead means that Android's future is assured for years
to come. Sure, Apple's platform is still
consistently more profitable than Google's,
with iOS users spending more on apps. But in the numbers game,
Android is unassailable.
