Apple announced the date of 2013 WWDC

Apple will be released at WWDC what products are the most talked about, under normal circumstances, Apple will metaphor invitations to product information. The most recent was the conference before September 12, 2012, Apple’s invitation clever reflection of date 12 designed to “5” style, on time and a new generation of iPhone naming. Then from the WWDC 2013 (flip catalogue software) invitation to what information we can get it?

 

The WWDC reflection MMXIII, happens to be in Roman numerals corresponding to 2013, figures show that, as it happens, much like electronic watches, with a colorful design and the rounded edges in a square, not people speculated that it implied with iWatch will be launched on WWDC 2013.

 

But in Apple’s official press release, the only mention MAC OS X and the new version of iOS, after the earnings release yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook has also hinted that it would launch new products in the fall and in 2014. Although these two actions inconsistent with the above speculation, but that does not mean that Apple will not deliberately create surprises for users.

 

More people figure out, after the announcement of new earnings, Apple’s net profit fell is in the most difficult situation era. The lack of exciting new products “is the much-maligned Tim Cook, iPhone sales growth is weak, while iPad sales rose, but a large part from MINI iPad’s (Flash Flip Software) sales, although it is a good product, but in the product level, the lack of a breakthrough, and the profit is lower than the iPad. Two days before news that Apple is planning to expel inside Tim Cook, WWDC or Apple’s most important annual meeting, crossed this important opportunity, after a long offseason, wait until the fall when we release new products also him?

Why developers still ignore the Android system?

See the TC someone said: Twitter Music launched their January launch of video applications Vine, which again selected priority product launch iOS platform (flip book maker), Android users get only one “later launched.

 

Well, I believe that, like me, most Android users are this scene a loser, I want to produce this situation more than the following reasons:

 

1.Developers iOS platform with stronger profitability;

2.Development team does not have enough resources to go for the two platforms to develop products, besides the Android platform complex version and adaptation issues;

3 developers think only the iOS platform in order to design a “beautiful”;

4 developers wanted to try iOS more mature ecosystem and user environment aquatic products, and then in turn spread;

 

The Android platform confusion channel conditions (mainly China) developers daunting. Developers do not need a reason iOS powder, Android black.

If it is a small development team, I fully agree to consider iOS First “strategy from the allocation of resources and revenue perspective. But for Twitter this platform, I think this approach is not appropriate.

 

First, Twitter has been a breakthrough in the global 500 million users, according to today’s data, the market share of Android in the world has more than 70%, even in iOS strong U.S. market, Android today has reached a market share of 51.7%, and iOS only 38.9%. As a platform-level service providers, Twitter what is the reason behind many Android users?

 

Secondly, Android upper main Java language development, low-level C language development, the number of developers to master two languages ​​many development resources for like Twitter this volume, there should not situation.

 

Again, and now the Android system has been greatly improved, Android 4.0 (online magazine software) and its more than 35% of the entire market share quickly, this data will be rapid growth. As we know, after 4.0, Android system is perfect, whether fluency said product design standards have greatly improved, fully able to develop high-quality applications on the Android platform.

 

In summary, the Android system has matured, and iOS to compete against the standard at the product level. Any platform-level products, the idea should be to serve more users, so I think that has come to Android and iOS as important status.
