I also feel like it's not accurate anymore.
Java doesn't run on iOS. Period. In fact it's almost impossible to build an iOS app using Java - the only ways to do it are essentially to transpile Java to some other language, so Java isn't running on iOS at all.
iOS is one of the most popular operating system in the world by any measure. It supports a lot of languages.
But not Java.
iOS is the most popular operating system in the world by any measure? What the fuck did I miss since I last picked up my phone?
I said "one of" the most popular.
Definitely in the top 4.
Ξ7Ξ£But that is not Javas problem, but IOS. They could use available languages, but they refuse and instead make you use their own programming language, swift. Even more vendor lock-in. Once you start using Apple shit, you join a cult of technology dictatorship.
joneskindContrary to Java, Swift is open source. Compilers also are open source and available on Windows and Linux besides macOS.
And itβs actually pretty easy to build apps in Swift using Visual Studio Code (you know, the Electron app available on every platform?)
Now, have fun with Android Studio and your transpiled BS Kotlin
OpenJDK says hello
PlexSheepThat's right. Through the claim that java runs everywhere is still falsified by the fact.
ππͺπ³π¬iOS is one of the most popular operating system in the world by any measure.
iOS has a market share of around 30% worldwide and Android being close to 70%.
candyman33730% is still a lot
Its half of what Android has and its clearly not "most popular operating system in the world by any measure".
They said one of the most popular operating systems by any measure.
It beats out all the BSD flavours, RedoxOS, TempleOS, MacOS (by an order of magnitude, I might add), Haiku, AmigaOS, Minix, just to name the more known ones. If you discount servers, it's nearly 30x as popular as Linux. It's on track to having more users than Windows. It gets beaten only by Android, Windows, and potentially Linux because of all the data centers (honestly kinda hard to get a real number on how many Linux servers are out there, especially since a lot are also virtual machines, etc)
As far as operating systems go, iOS is in the top 0.5%, so definitely one of the most popular.
If there is a competition of 3 systems and you're on 3rd place, then yes, you're "one of". But you're still the last.
And that only includes mobile phones.
Of you count in desktop operating systems, too, then its 3rd place with ca. 17%.

By "most popular" you mean most used, right? I'm asking because the word "popular" sounds like people would actually like the OS. I am using android solely because of the lack of alternatives (iOS being even worse). In general, mobile OSes are complete horseshit if you ask me.
Well, anal sex does not work on jelly fish so both statements are equally generalized
The ratio of iOS to all operating systems is way higher than the ratio of jelly fish to all species.
