Even if Android devices come in larger numbers than Apple ones in the United States, a new survey published by Chitika shows evidence that iOS devices, however, dominate in terms of web traffic. To reach this conclusion, Chitika conducted a study that spanned over six months, between the months May and November of 2012. They calculated the web traffic volume for each operating system by isolating impressions coming only from the iOS and Android gadgets.
The team conducting the study remarked that even though a lot of new Android devices have graced the tech market recently, like the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Droid RAZR M or the popular Amazon Kindle Fire HD, not much has changed in the Web trafficking sector when compared to 6 months before the survey started. The numbers speak for themselves: the iOS family holds 65% while Android numbers just stayed at around 35%. Android got a boost this last year, elevating its numbers to 40% but that was because the Samsung Galaxy S3 had just been released on the market. But Apple swallowed the percents back again after it released the iPhone 5.
Apple has always had a committed and loyal fan base that represents a fertile ground for every product Cupertino unleashes into the world. Thats why there hasnt been yet an Apple product gone wrong. Not only is the iPhone Americas sweetheart in terms of smartphone technology, but also the iPad remains the number one favorite in the tablet department. And according to Chitika experts, its the iPad that makes all the difference. Without it, apparently, Android would be breathing down Apples neck for sure.
