Thus, in 2014, the Android operating system has a market share of 81%. For iOS, this share is 15%. In contrast, companies that sell mobile Android do not realize as much profit as Apple, with its iPhone.
The other threat to Google, it is the so-called OS "Android Fork". Microsoft, the Nokia partner (before the acquisition) has already developed a Fork of Android for Nokia X (where Google services are being replaced by Microsoft services) have decided to invest on a very popular fork called Cyanogen . As for OnePlus, it will launch an OS called OxygenOS (also based on Android) for OnePlus One.
And as you know, the famous Xiaomi manufacturer does not use the version of Google but a customized version called MIUI, with a store of apps that already a lot of money to the company. By 2015, Android fork could well gain ground.
