If oneSmartphonesOperating systemWithout rich application support, it can hardly be called a truly "smart" system. However, for a domestic system, the application ecology has always been an important factor that has plagued its development. Although the system claims to have 2.2 million developers, it has only developed 91 apps so far, which is a far cry from its claims. This data gap directly reveals the huge shortcomings of the system in the application ecology. In a time when applications are critical, this is distressing.
If a domestic system wants to compete with Android in the market, it must have a rich variety of applications. However, since the system is currently not available for developers to bring the same benefits to:AppleswithGoogleComparable revenues lead to a lack of motivation for developers to develop apps. Public data shows thatApplesIn 2022, it brought in a whopping $60 billion in revenue for developers, whileGooglePlay's revenue is also quite substantial. In contrast, the market share of a domestic system is only about 2%, which cannot bring enough returns to developers. This situation has greatly reduced the motivation of developers to develop the system.
Due to the lack of rich applications, it is difficult for a domestic system to attract users, and it is also difficult to further expand the market. This creates a typical chicken-and-egg dilemma. A similar situation is happening with Microsoft's WindowsphoneSamsungtizen system. Although these systems are not inferior to their competitors in terms of technical performance, they can only choose to withdraw from the market due to the lack of application ecology.
Either wayApplesOr Android, which has been able to dominate the market for more than a decadeCriticalIt lies in their rich and diverse application ecosystem. This is also the reason why it is extremely difficult for a domestic system to replace Android.
Although a domestic system claims to develop independently, considering that its current market share is only about 2%, it is difficult to achieve it in a short period of time even if subsidies are provided to developersApples, Android comparable to the scale of revenue, thus attracting more developers. Without enough revenue, it will be difficult to attract more applications, which will also make it difficult to open the market.
In the highly competitive global market, it is not enough to rely on the huge demographic dividend in China. Technological innovation and independent controllability are oneOperating systemSurvivalCritical。If a domestic system wants to truly get rid of the shackles of Android, it must make a breakthrough in the application ecology. Only by having a rich variety of applications can you attract more users, increase market share, and then get more revenue.
However, there is still a certain risk in the decision of a domestic system to break away from Android and develop independently. If it hastily breaks away from Android, but cannot solve the problem of application ecology, it is very likely to fall into the situation of application desertification. There is no rich application supportOperating systemHow can consumers accept it?There are still many doubts about whether a domestic system can avoid repeating the mistakes of Windows and continue to develop independently.
Looking back at history, we can see that the competition in the application ecosystem is very important for oneOperating systemsuccess or failure matters. Either wayApplesor Android, both of which occupy a dominant position in the market with a rich and diverse application ecosystem. A domestic system that wants to replace Android in the market is indeed facing a huge challenge.
As oneSmartphonesOperating systemThe importance of the application is needless to say. One of the main reasons users choose a system is the variety of applications it can offer. If a system has serious shortcomings in the application ecosystem, it will be difficult to attract enough users and may eventually decline.
For a domestic system, although it has made some progress in terms of technological independence, there are still serious deficiencies in the application ecology. Only 91 apps have been developed so far, in stark contrast to its claimed 2.2 million developers. This huge gap directly reveals the problems and challenges in its application ecology.
Although a domestic system has announced that it will develop independently from Android, in order to survive and succeed in the market, it must solve the application ecological problem. Only with a rich and diverse application support can you attract more users and developers and further increase your market share. Only by making a breakthrough in the application ecology can a domestic system stand out in the market and achieve technological independence. Otherwise, it will run the risk of applying desertification, which may eventually lead to failure.
In the highly competitive global mobile app market, relying solely on a huge demographic dividend is far from enough to achieve success. Technological innovation and autonomous controllability are oneOperating systemSurvive and thriveCritical。A domestic system needs to increase investment and efforts in the application ecology to attract more developers and improve the number and quality of applications, so as to attract more users and market share.
In short, although the decision of a domestic system to break away from Android and develop independently has been recognized to a certain extent, the serious lack of its application ecology is still a worrying problem. Only by solving the problem of application ecology can we achieve true technological independence and succeed in the market. In the global competition, only with a rich variety of application support can we win users and market share.
