So at the moment Apple hold the 1st place in mobile OS marketshare, I feel the unfortunate thing that will happen as marketshare drops Google will slowly move to supporting projects other than android, and eventually drop support entirely and focus on making better iOS apps, Device makers will start making their own operating systems with tighter locked down appstores in order compete with iOS, we already see this with Amazon planning to switch to a linux based OS in future fire devices.

    That’s bonkers, you do know how much money Google makes off selling data and ads, right? Being able to track folks physical location and a majority of their internet activity is a big piece of their advertising revenue. Google makes most of their revenue from ads and user data, no longer developing Android would be idiotic, this being the case.
