In Alex Halperin's article, "Android surge shakes Apple," he reveals the danger Apple is facing in falling behind Android. Halperin starts out by referring to a previous case which happened in Beijing, China where the Apple iPad sales were too low. He continues by showing reports which shows Apple "a gravitational pull on app developers." He also interviewed a former graphics engineer at Apple who, even though he favors Apple, he feels that Android is slowly catching up. Halperin shows that iPhone 5 is the most sold phone in the US, however Android does not fall back with Samsung Galaxy SIII as the best selling phone ever. He also states that Apple are barely able to keep up. Their tablets are the best ones, but they could easily lose the spot of best sold tablets. Halperin ends his article by stating, "It’s foolish to look too deeply into a stock but it may be fair to say that since consumers now have options, investors might want them too." He means that Apple must start taking this problem more seriously and take serious measures.
The author's purpose in writing this article is to reveal to people that Apple is slowly falling behind Android. There was not only one case which shows the droppings Apple faced, but more times. His audience are people who are interested in technology affairs and those who wants to know about the relationship between Apple and Android. Halperin wrote this article to inform these people about the problems happening between these two companies who both wish to sell the most and get the most sales.
