Apple and Google were both fighting to be on top this holiday season and it looks like Apple may have outdone Google on Christmas day, reports FORTUNE.
A Flurry Analytics report estimates that on Christmas Day, iOS and Android activations jumped to more than 6.8 million, a 353% increase over the baseline.
Google's Andy Rubin reveals that 3.7 million Android devices were activated on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Given that Android has at least 700,000 activations on an average day, that means at most Google activated 3 million devices on Christmas Day.
If Flurry Analytics' activations estimate is accurate, that means Apple activated at least 3.8 million devices on Christmas Day, surpassing Google.
Considering that Android phones typically outsell the iPhone by 3:1, it's likely that Apple shot ahead thanks to the iPod touch and iPad being popular Christmas gifts.
