The confrontation between Google and Apple has intensified over the past year, said Jay yelo, author of the tech blog businessinsider (Silicon Valley insider), wrote on Wednesday. The confrontation between the two companies this year is mainly focused on mobile phones and the advertising market. Google launched its own-brand Nexus One at the beginning of the year, and Apple launched the IAD platform this month. The confrontation between Google and Apple will continue. The following is the ten future wars between the two companies evaluated by yarro:
First: Google is developing the iPad killer
Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive, told his friends that Google is developing a tablet. It is estimated that the tablet will use the Android operating system.
Second: Google Chrome will be available
Google is expected to launch a chrome operating system by the end of the year. This operating system is very different from the Android operating system. Chrome is an operating system designed specifically for netbooks. If the above situation is true, the operating system will have a certain impact on Microsoft and Apple.
Third: Walt Mossberg, the critic of the Wall Street Journal, will eventually announce that the Android phone is better than the iPhone
This situation is inevitable, isn't it? The Android operating system is being used by more and more mobile phone manufacturers. I believe that in the end, there will be an Android phone that will experience more than the iPhone. At that time, I believe mohlberg will write: "android will eventually bring a better mobile phone than the iPhone ."
Fourth: Apple will enter the map market
In a report at the end of March this year, US investment bank Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster expects apple to eventually launch its own map service. Munster believes that Apple's abandonment of the market means that it has abandoned localization data, which is precisely one of the key components of the mobile platform. Monster expects apple to buy map data providers like Europa technologies.
Fifth: Apple or bing replaced Google to become the default search engine for the iPhone
Previously, it was rumored that Bing may replace Google and become the default search engine for safari in the iPhone. However, most analysts believe that this situation will not happen this year. However, one day, this is a reality.
Sixth: Apple or its own search engine
For Google, the biggest threat from Apple is that the latter has developed its own search engine. This may sound strange because Apple uses Google as its default search engine and can earn $0.1 billion a year from Google. However, Munster of Piper Jaffray believes that 70% of Apple may develop its own search engine in the next five years.
7. Apple and Google began to dig corners between each other
There have been rumors that Google and Apple have signed a secret non-piracy agreement. Neither company can dig corners for each other. If this happens, the Protocol has expired. Google product manager RJ Pitman jumped to Apple in March this year. It is expected that the two companies will be exploring each other soon.
8. Apple and Google will compete in the TV Market
Google previously joined hands with Intel and Sony to launch a set-top box using the Android operating system. With this product, users can access the Internet and watch TV. Apple also has its own set-top box project, namely, Apple TV. However, this product is still unavailable on the market. Piper Jaffray's monster believes apple is about to make a big move in the TV market. If Apple launches its own TV product, competition between Apple and Google will be further intensified.
9. YouTube squeezed iTunes by leasing services
Video website YouTube is launching movie and TV series leasing services. Apple's iTunes has already launched this service. If the YouTube service is launched, the competition for content between the two companies is inevitable.
10: Apple and Google compete in the M & A Market
Previously, Apple stole Lala from Google, while Google pulled AdMob from Apple's mouth. In the future, the two companies will launch fierce mergers and acquisitions in the cloud computing service field.
