Wall Street Predicts Merge of OS X and iOS

Posted by samzenpus on from the two-in-one dept.

gumbi west writes "One Wall Street analyst predicts what slashdot commenters have predicted for years, that iOS and OS X will merge into a single OS. However the analyst sees this happening because the iOS devices receive a substantial CPU boost from the quad core A6 which can power MBA and smaller devices while following 64-bit ARM processors can bring the remainder of the Apple lineup back to ARM under a single architecture."

    Don't worry, even if every Mac ran iOS tomorrow, people would still make inaccurate marketshare comparisons between the entire Android platform of devices and just one single iOS device, the iPhone. With iPads and iPods included, iOS far surpasses Android in marketshare, but little facts like that get in the way.
