ββπ± New iPhones Outside the US
There's no doubt about the increase in the price of #Apple's new iPhone every year, but for the first time, an #iPhone can cost a USπΊπΈ customer $1,449. However, compared to other countries in the world, this still is cheap.
When exported to Japanπ―π΅, the price will rise by 2%, but even that's not a lot. The Britishπ¬π§ and Germanπ©πͺ customers, respectively, should pay about 130% and 132% of the price of an iPhone in the US.

ββπ± The Difference: iOS vs Android
Yesterday, #Apple rolled out #iOS 12, the latest version of its mobile operating system.
Unlike #Android users who are often stuck with the version that comes pre-installed with their device, iPhone and iPad users iPhone can count on their devices getting new software for at least a couple of years. That's why they often rush to update to the latest version of OS available.
As the following chart illustrates, 95% of iOS devices currently run some version of iOS 11 (originally released in September 2017) or iOS 10 (September 2016).
Last year's Android version Oreo on the other hand is installed on less than 15% of all active devices, while more than half of all Android devices run on a system released in October 2015 or earlier. As a consequence, iOS app developers find a rather unified playing field while Android developers have to work with a deeply fragmented system.

ββπ€ Android's Dominance
Ten years ago, on September 23, 2008, the T-Mobile G1 made its debut, marking the birth hour of #Android. More than a year after #Apple had released the first #iPhone, Androidβs debut wasnβt as spectacular and, as opposed to the iPhone, the first Android device still had a physical keyboard. But #Googleβs open approach to building a mobile platform quickly proved to be successful and it took less than three years for Android to become the number 1 platform in the booming smartphone market.
