    I also feel like it’s not accurate anymore.

    Java doesn’t run on iOS. Period. In fact it’s almost impossible to build an iOS app using Java - the only ways to do it are essentially to transpile Java to some other language, so Java isn’t running on iOS at all.

    iOS is one of the most popular operating system in the world by any measure. It supports a lot of languages.

    But not Java.

      But that is not Javas problem, but IOS. They could use available languages, but they refuse and instead make you use their own programming language, swift. Even more vendor lock-in. Once you start using Apple shit, you join a cult of technology dictatorship.

        That’s right. Through the claim that java runs everywhere is still falsified by the fact.

      iOS is one of the most popular operating system in the world by any measure.

      iOS has a market share of around 30% worldwide and Android being close to 70%.
