Current State of Mobile: Android dominance
Slide Credit:

Global smartphone shipment
growth slowing dramatically as
developed markets reach
maturity.
Shipment growth still strong in
developing markets inc. SE Asia,
Africa.
Android dominance is
consistently underestimated by
affluent iPhone-owning
westerners.
30. Pros:
● Rapid application
development
● Parity between iOS and
Android experiences is far
easier to maintain due to
shared codebase
Cons:
● Lack of control (may
depend on 3rd party to fix
platform bugs)
● Interoperability Issues: Not
all 3rd party tools and
SDKs will play nicely with
the chosen cross-platform
solution.
