Repeat of history for Apple

leave a comment »

I think Android is making gains against iOS in the same fashion now as Windows did against Mac OS in 80s. Back then Mac OS ran only on Macs; now iOS only runs on iPhone and iPad… and I fear that this closed system approach would lead to the repeat of history. As much as I love Apple products, the tsunami of Android phones will only get better. Apple might be a trend setter, but with its current approach, it’s daring to compete with an army of manufacturers and open-source contributors on its own. And when an open-source operating system is as good as Android, I don’t think Apple’s win is likely.
