iOS vs Android Part 2: iOS is making money hand over fist

With Android taking the crown for market share, let's take a look at the numbers from Tech Time's compilation for the apps on both devices, along with which operating system makes more money.The first question is which company makes the most amount of money from selling smartphones. According to Canaccord Genuity, Apple is far ahead in the race with 72 percent of the profit in the last quarter of 2012. Samsung is second with 29 percent. All the other companies either broke even or lost money, which resulted in Apple and Samsung's numbers accounting for more than 100 percent.Another major source of arguments with regards to both operating systems is the apps. Numbers-wise, there's no winner, since both Android and iOS have more than 800,000 third party apps. Quality-wise, however, when it comes to quality of apps, uTest's Applause service shows that iOS apps are generally given a higher rating at 68.5 percent, compared to 63.3 percent for Android apps.
