Apple's Co-Founder admits that he is a fan of Android phones. The open eco-system has enabled Android to leapt ahead in terms of some of the technologies. Some of which includes the voice commands for Android and the built-in navigation system.
Could a similar story play out for Apple? They have a model that is similar to IBM in earlier years whereby they wanted to control both the hardware and the software aspect of computers, whereas in the case of Microsoft, they licensed it out to other computer markers like what Android is doing now. Apple and IBM may have created the market themselves and make huge gross profits per machine sold, however they suffered in terms of the amount of profits and revenue growth.
Another key thing that he has to grapple with is the poor battery life and the Siri technology that is not as "smart" as Google's version.
While we applaud Apple for coming out with certain technology that the Android eco-system have improved on, it's closed eco-system would prove to be a major stumbling block for Apple's growth.
