What happends if you need to update your android os ? It will start taking even more resource and it isnt like google will have the time or the patience to look at all the android device and optimize it around it. So your android will take up even more power, where apple just has to check around 3-4 iphones and see how it performs.And your android phone will be either outdated or become very slow with new updates because google didnt test to see if it works with it well.IOS6 can be used on an ipodtouch4 which the ipodtouch4 has only 256 mb of DRAM and it runs very well.If ios6 can run on the ipodtouch 4th generation with only 256 ram I am pretty sure apple iphone 5 will haver plenty of space afterwards and will be a supported device for a while.

You are right. Android do have nexus however which they control but to be fair iOS origined from MAC so Apple had the Knowledge and to make it compatible for future and old devices at the same time. While on the other hand Android has started from scratch and became from ugly to be the best looking OS with the customization optimization.
And if we look from the other way around. Android has evolved in the last 4 years hence devices are not supported with updates for long while iOS has remained the same and has reached the point of becoming boring. I dont think iPod touch 4th genration running iOS 6 is much suprising.

And the second point is that if iphone market is over run by a lot of apps that crappy, it will hurt all the serous developers. Android app store will approve an app with a picture for goodness sakes. Also, apple review teams doesnt say this app looks good or not, they just want you to follow certain instructions for example, if your app crashes during review, it will automatically get rejected automatically. If it calls private apple libraries it will get rejected because if they change the mthod of their library the app will not longer function like it should. And closed source is great when done right. Look at all the console manufactures, they have close systems and it is working great. And this is the one of the BIGGEST REASON why big time developers design around iphone first then port the leftovers to android, because you have a better chance of sucessful . |
Console Games development budget reaches a whole new level. About 1000 times more than a iOS app development. i dont think they can be compared.
i can only point you to that closed system in computer world led to Microsoft ruling Apple for the last decade.
And now in the mobile space Apple has lost market share to Android and the same trend is following in the tablet space.
So i will point out again it will hurt Apple in the long run. ( in short for example Appleis gaining only 10 new users in comparison to 50 Android is doing This number is threatning since at one time it was the other way around. ).
