The operating system race between Apple and Google continues at full speed. While there are many models such as vivo, Samsung and Xiaomi on Google’s Android operating system, Apple, which competed with all these companies on its own, still won. Here is the transition rate from iOS to Android.
Apple is the winner of the race with the iOS operating system, but it is not happy!
CIRP’s latest report revealed the winner of the race between Android and iOS. Comparing the previous and next phones of users who bought a new phone in June 2024, CIRP revealed that 17 percent of users who bought a new iPhone had an Android phone before. This figure, which was announced as 10 percent last year, is 17 percent this year, which shows that Apple has made a bigger difference to Google this time.
The clear conclusion here is that Apple has added many customers to its own organization from Android. However, the company is still not happy. Because the continuation of the report is not as it wanted. CIRP, which explains which models users who switch from Android to iPhone are interested in, says that users who switch to iPhone do not buy the latest iPhone models.
Users who do not want to pay $1000 for a new phone are faced with models such as iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 when they look at iPhones around $500. This decreases the demand for Apple’s iPhone 14 and 15 Series models. Although Apple also has older models, the fact that the upper series models are not sold reduces the company’s profitability.
Let’s mention an additional piece of information here. Previously, iPhone 11 or 12 users used to sell their phones and switch to the latest model when the new iPhone series was released. Now, reports that this rate has decreased significantly indicate that current iPhone 14 or iPhone 15 Series users are happy with their phones. In other words, it seems that they will not switch to the iPhone 16, which will be introduced in a few months, for now.
Apple is still a very profitable company with high sales rates. However, Apple’s situation may change in the future if its newest models are not sold as much as it wants. Although the only solution to this problem seems to be to lower prices for now, Apple does not seem to be working on this side. Do you think iPhone models are really expensive? We are waiting for your opinions in the comments.
