Android has beaten all other technologies in growth rate. It’s pretty fastest growth. Back in September, Sundar Pichai announced there were a total of 1 billion Android activations. That was achieved in a little over 5 years.
According to Asymco analyst Horace Dediu, no other technology grew as fast. The closest would be Facebook and iOS. Facebook achieved 1 billion users, but it took them nearly 9 years to do it. iOS hasn’t even hit 1 billion yet. They are sitting at roughly 700 million after nearly 6 years.
One thing to keep in mind is Google+, which didn’t make this infographic. Google+ is now a little over 2 years old and already has over 540 million active users. This is a faster pace than Android, so we are likely to see a new crowned king by early 2015.
