Thoughts on the consumer impact and protection of iOS and Android machines

More than 2007 million iOS and Android smartphones and tablets have been activated since 500, and by the end of 2012, according to calculations by Flurry, which specializes in mobile marketing and analytics, that number will exceed 1 billion. Comparing this with the former PC sales data from market research firm IDC, a total of 1981 million computers were sold between 2000 and 800, so the proliferation of iOS and Android systems is four times faster than this.

This year’s Christmas figures also reflect the above statement well. Also based on Flurry’s report - the number of activations for devices running the aforementioned two operating systems has peaked globally. In the period from the 1,5st to the twentieth of December, the number of activations reached 356 million on average, while on Christmas Day this number stood 6,8% higher at 2,8 million. Just a year earlier, “a total of” 640 million units were activated that same evening. While this year in the UK alone, 000 tablets came under the tree, 72% of which were iPads, PCadviser.co.uk says.

We haven’t yet seen comparative statistics on how long a desktop computer or laptop stayed intact and scratch-free between 1981 and 2000 compared to Christmas hit products, or perhaps no one has yet compiled statistics on how the price and life of the device relate to each other. However, the service life is strongly influenced by the aesthetic condition of the product. These devices have revolutionized the market by allowing them to be carried anywhere in a pocket or even a small bag, but there is a serious risk of being scratched, worn or possibly damaged.

These devices usually come to us with some sort of factory protective film, but how long do we keep them on display? After all, it makes it difficult to use the touchscreen, and it also disturbs the overall picture. However, to ensure that these devices are protected from external influences, it is advisable to provide the screen or even the entire surface of the device with a protective film. Of course, various films can be obtained in the market, but it does not hurt to pay attention to their quality. THE screenshield.hu The webshop available on page XNUMX offers custom-made protective films for device types, which provide such high-quality scratch protection that the Hungarian manufacturer guarantees a lifetime guarantee for them. The film is almost invisible on the surface, not blistered, does not tear over time, and most importantly, it does not make it difficult to use the touch screen at all. Moreover, it not only protects it, but even greatly reduces the visibility of fingerprints. ScreenShield film is already so popular in Hungary that StarKing, one of Apple’s largest retailers, has also begun marketing it.

Key features of ScreenShield:

• resistant to minor mechanical damage, scratches and natural UV radiation,
• practically completely transparent,
• its surface significantly reduces the formation of fingerprints,
• thickness 150 μm, tensile strength> 100 N / 25mm, elongation at break> 350%,
• dimensional stability of 0,2 mm (after 168 hours at 70 degrees Celsius),
• life expectancy up to 6-8 years depending on the conditions of use.
