Operating systems in Italy - statistics & facts
In Italy, from Sicily to the Dolomites, Android is the undisputed king of smartphones, but when it comes to tablets, it's head-to-head with Apple. This operating system (OS) showdown mirrors a larger global trend, where the competition between Android and iOS continues to dominate the tech landscape. An operating system (OS) is the software on which tech devices run, allowing us to perform actions on them, from surfing the internet to texting, to playing games. Over the past decades, the operating system industry has massively developed globally, as have its subsegments, including the mobile OS, tablet OS, computer OS, and gaming console OS markets. Similarly, the industry has grown in Italy, where consumer electronics devices play a major role in the everyday lives of the country’s inhabitants.
