Instagram head Adam Mosseri said Android is "now better" than Apple's iOS.
He was responding to YouTuber Marques Brownlee, who was asking for people's best tech "hot takes."
Apple's iOS is estimated to be more popular in the US, but Android dominates worldwide..
Which is better: iPhone or Android? Instagram head Adam Mosseri weighed in on the topic earlier this week, reigniting a debate that has waged on since the dawn of smartphones.
"Android's now better than iOS," Mosseri posted on Threads in response to tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, aka MKBHD, who had asked for people's best tech "hot takes." Mosseri didn't get into why he felt Android to be superior, but his use of the words "now better" implies that he may have previously felt Apple's iOS had the edge. Insider reached out to Meta in an attempt to get Mosseri to expand on his reasoning, but we didn't hear back ahead of publication. Both Android and iOS have been wildly successful since the introduction of the first iPhone and Android phones in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
iOS dominates in the US — Android cleans up worldwide
The question of which operating system is more popular depends on if you're talking about the US or worldwide. According to data from Counterpoint Research, more Americans now use iPhones running iOS than Google's Android. iPhones first surpassed Androids in September 2022. As of the first quarter of 2023, Apple held an estimated 52% US smartphone market share, with Samsung the runner-up with a 27% share. Google, Lenovo and other brands make up the remaining percentage.
Apple hasn't announced recent numbers on exactly how many iOS users there are worldwide. But During the 2023 Google I/O developer conference, Android's VP of product management Sameer Samat announced that there were 3 billion active Android devices. Statistica estimates that Android, which is the go-to mobile operating system for most phone-makers aside from Apple, has a much larger global market share than iOS, with 70.8% of the market share as of July 2023. Apple's iOS has the second-highest percentage of market share with 28.4%. Those estimates include smartphones as well as other devices running mobile operating systems, like tablets. During the rollout of Threads, Instagram's new text-based counterpart, Meta announced that the app would be available on both iOS and Android. However, the iPhone version is so far getting a bit of extra love early on — the latest features rolled out to iPhones first, with an Android update TBD.
Login to view embedded media I am just learning about Eartha Kitt’s dating life and why she married a white man. Reportedly the Black man she wanted( Belafonte) lifted her “ from his bed and said a Black woman can do NOTHING for him.” Plus other black men she desired just did not desire her even with her beauty and fame.
For those who don't know sometime last year the Isreali Government developed a zero-click malware that was discovered late 2022. This type of malware is not only tough to detect but doesn't require any user interaction in order to get infected. This same malware has been reported to have been used on Human Rights groups despite being advertised as a tool to fight terrorism.
This was deinitely concerning to me because for the last year apple users have been revieving these mysterious security updates. Most of them don't even have a description in the patch notes for weeks or months. That indicate to me that they are still trying to secure the phone as much as possible and don't want to release publicly what they have fixed so that NSO can't use that information to patch their payload. There isn't much public information on how Pegasus works because, again, this payload is being advertised to government agencies and there is a conflict of interest between government agencies and cyber security where cyber security wants to patch vulnerabilities and government agencies wanting to keep those vulnerabilities so they can use those vulnerabilities to their advantage.
What made me post this is that I saw a short clip of Vicki Dillard talking about how the Western world is trying to distract us with this Ukraine vs Russia. It made me think about how all these different attack vectors have been used in this cyber war and I think about how this technology may be used against us. When you consider that Human Rights organizations have been targeted what is to say we won't be targeted, if we haven't been targeted already. We have been able to do a lot in spite of the barriers that social media and similar sites use to filter our message and information. When I think about the way that meta data and big data is used to create profiles on peoples habits and behaviors it makes me feel the FBI no longer need to infiltrate our organizations because they have all the tools at their disposal to spy without stepping foot into your home. For example we already have payloads that can screen capture all the acitivity happening on a phone in real time, access the cameras and having total control over someone's device BUT it usually requires that the victim downloads an apk or opens a file like a pdf or Word Doc. These payloads also have signatures that AV, IDPS and other monitoring software can detect but Pegasus can avoid all of that and only by meticulously monitoring your phone can you discover this payload. That's a tall task. I would like to see apps that can list all the connection Iphone has in the sameway the netstat comomand does. We don't have enough tools for IOS that allow you to really streamline the detective work.
Mr. Wolf Coffee is located in New Orleans, in the Business District. Excellent location, as it's situated across from the D-Day Muesum, which is a big money maker here in NOLA.
It's impressive that a Black-Owned Business was able to acquire commercial space near such a cash cow.
At some point, I fully expect the "powers that be" to ban paper currency in more and more countries so they can have their one world digital currency in an attempt to better control everybody. What are ya'll thoughts on this topic?
The europeans are so focused on doing harm against Black Westerners, their whole clown show keeps going wildly off the rails. Comedy so sad it’s pathetic.
I thought I've seen all the iconic videos, etc. Never knew about this one. I love how both were on code. This was 1967. No wonder the government wanted MLK Jr dead the next year. He was lining up his ducks in a row.
