So at the moment Apple hold the 1st place in mobile OS marketshare, I feel the unfortunate thing that will happen as marketshare drops Google will slowly move to supporting projects other than android, and eventually drop support entirely and focus on making better iOS apps, Device makers will start making their own operating systems with tighter locked down appstores in order compete with iOS, we already see this with Amazon planning to switch to a linux based OS in future fire devices.

    Android is actually THE biggest mobile operating system, with Apple’s iOS being in second.source

    Thus, Android most likely is the most profitable mobile os out there. They’re not stupid enough to stop supporting it. However, I am worried about AOSP’s future in the long term, what with tech giants being tech giants.
