Here’s something that Android users can boast about now. The Android 5.0 Lollipop has lower crash rate as opposed to iOS 8. While Apple iOS 8 has an average crash rate of 2.18% while Android Lollipop OS only saw an average crash rate of 2.15%, that is 0.2% lower than iOS 8.
However, the previous iOS 7 seemed to have better average crash rate of 2.02.
All said and done, in the overall category, Android phones were poor performers with Android KitKat OS recording an average crash rate of 2.76% which was apparently the highest of all the operating systems.
The study was conducted on more than 20,000 mobile applications, to check out their vulnerabilities and to compare the crash rates between different operating systems. Apple scored well in terms of overall crash rates, while Android scored most for most number of crashes on a single operating system.
The report was carried out by an independent firm with the objective of verifying the stability of apps on different operating systems. Besides the software and application part, the study also took into account certain hardware aspects of the various mobile devices, such as the RAM and the phone processor’s speed. In addition to this, the study also included the amount of internal and external storage within different mobile devices. According to the report, mobile users will experience unexpected crashes, and more so in the future, if they are running on older versions of iOS and Android platforms.
That said, analysts also suggested that mobile phone users who were using older version of iOS platforms were less vulnerable to crashes that their Android totting counterparts
