What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
It took #Android #Marshmello (Android 6.x) 15 months to get to 18.7% installed base. #iOS10 easily passed that in just 2 days.
The last time I checked, #Spotify is still losing a lot of money and #Apple is still making a lot of money. http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/14/spotify-40-million-paid-subscribers/
#iOS #SiriKit was only introduced 3 months ago and most taxi-booking apps already have it. Fragmented #Android world will slowly catch-up.
#Apple is good at winning quietly. You think it is just a stickers store like #Line, it is a full e-commerce platform with social network.
#Apple makes it seem so easy to just start #iMessage store and have hundreds of apps in there already. They have a 13m developers ecosystem.
Can we say Shigeru Miyamoto is the best entertainer of our generation? #SuperMarioRun #Nintendo http://thenextweb.com/gaming/2016/09/12/watch-marios-creator-play-super-mario-run-bicep-curls/
#Line, #Whatsapp and #Messenger might still think that #iMessage is not a threat as it is #iOS “only”. It has 1 billion rich active users.
Is it the year of #AI chatbots like what #Facebook and #Google are pushing for? Or iMessage store in #iOS10? http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/13/12900672/app-imessage-app-store-stickers-apps-features
It might seem excessive, but name any other phone with known/confirmed risks of exploding like #SamsungGalaxyNote7? https://x.com/Pogue/status/775759434425524224
Did you really need a reminder to do full backup before system update? People never learn. #iOS #Android #Win10 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37357489
We are less than 5 years away from full-day power for #iPhone. Battery technology hasn’t changed much, needs smarter hardware and software.
#iPhone users don’t care much about exact capacity of batteries or RAM. They just know it lasts longer and faster. http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/12/12886058/iphone-7-specs-competition
