It is to submit apps to the Play store how strict Apple is, often to the point of frustrating their developers with the vague rules that give Apple the ability to reject or pull apps without notice.” and it is either becoming too difficult for developers or Google is just becoming more lucrative. Michaeli says in an interview with the Monitor. “Apple’s strict review process is paying off for Google,” Mr. However, Apple may have been its own worst enemy, says Ariel Michaeli, co-founder of.
One of Apple’s main draws for the iPhone and iPad has always been the wide array of iOS apps, so Google surpassing the company’s total app numbers is a bit of a blow to its bragging rights.
Amazon may have been the runt of the litter, but its Appstore saw growth of about 90 percent last year, bringing its total number of apps to around 293,000. Google ended 2014 with more than 1.43 million apps compared with Apple’s 1.21 million. Will consumers be mindful about the relative impact of different EV vehicle options?Īpple's App Store may have had a record-breaking start to 2015, but as appFigures reports, Google has a new superlative to brag about.įor the first time, the Google Play store surpassed Apple’s online store in number of apps. If you size up CO2 emissions over a vehicle’s lifetime, electricity soundly beats internal combustion – especially as more power is renewably sourced and battery technology gets “cleaner.”High gasoline prices turn heads toward EVs, which can lead to a hunt for affordable EV models. (The EV “high end” keeps getting higher.)The EV story, analysts point out, remains one of net carbon impact. An editorial in the Los Angeles Times decries a wave of bigger – and bigger-battery – EVs. Those are pricier than EVs like the little Bolt hatchback, which General Motors discontinued in favor of pickups. They’re more resource-intensive, too. The demand side – that is, consumer preferences – plays an important role, too.There are full-size EV pickups that can power homes, and some drivers do need big vehicles. For 2022, the firms involved in the mining and manufacturing for those accounted for 27% of Tesla’s total emissions, reports Quartz.But the supply side isn’t the only thing to consider as we think about EVs and making the future work. And such “Scope 3” emissions – including those of suppliers – represented the deepest part of the product line’s carbon footprint.Batteries are a big factor. But this time, in Tesla’s report, it was part of the tally. What should we make of a recent report from carmaker Tesla reminding us that, even though its cars have no tailpipes, there are significant carbon emissions associated with getting them built and on the road?It’s worth thinking about, though there’s a lot more at play when it comes to electric vehicles and CO2 emissions.The vast network needed to supply raw materials and component parts for EVs makes for difficult accounting.
