iPadOS focuses mainly on iPad devices

iPadOS is a dedicated iOS 13 version for the iPad. Even though it has many similar features to iOS 13, the company wants a standalone name for this updated software.

In comparison, as of September 2019, StatCounter – a market share tracker, pointed out that almost a year after the launch of Android Pie 9, less than 33 percent of Android devices around the world have installed it, and Android 8.1 Oreo was running on more than 16% of all Android devices as of last month.

Google has recently launched the most updated version of Android – Android 10, which was rolled out to Pixel phones on September 3, but the number of devices using this latest version still remains unclear.
