Despite evidence to the contrary, Apple wants the world to believe it is not getting clobbered by Android in the mobile world. To prove its point, it threw up this slide during WWDC which shows iOS with 44% of the mobile installed base. iOS counts towards iPads, iPod Touches, and iPhones. And Apple is including all iOS devices ever sold in the image above. "To date we have sold -- wait for it -- 200 million iOS devices. And that makes iOS the number one mobile operating system with more than 44% of the market," said Apple SVP of iOS software Scott Forstall. Uh, no, it doesn't. It shows all the devices purchased, not the devices in use today. We've bought multiple iPhones, but only use one right now. This stat doesn't mean anything, really. The more relevant data looks at who is buying smartphones and using them now. By those measures, Apple is not dominating, at least not on smartphones.
