Google is not a hardware company, so why is it closed source? Of course, the Android system has also begun to flourish on Google users, and even Google can associate products with private goods, such as Google's GMS!

Android has been an open source ecosystem since its birth, hoping to be used by mobile phone manufacturers; compared to and Apple , the hardware was built at that time, and with the hardware, it began to gradually have its own system. In fact, Apple's system can It dates back to the PC era, and then the mobile phone era came. Apple must have adapted to the times and built its own system!

Apple has also benefited from its own system, which has enabled better sales of its mobile phones and better sales of computers! As for Apple, Apple's software ecosystem only gained strength after its continuous rise. If Apple's hardware system business is not good, then the software must not be good either! These two complement each other!

But in Google’s Android ecosystem, as long as the entire architecture and underlying services are in place, and all major mobile phone manufacturers use them to promote my basic services and system framework, then I can naturally become popular! In this way, Google can do a lot of things, create a lot of interesting ecosystems of its own, and play a lot of tricks!

This is the advantage of Google! Of course, it is also possible that mobile phone manufacturers such as , Samsung, , HTC, etc. also sought cooperation back then, hoping to be the only one! I remember that when Android first came out, many companies started to use it one after another; at that time, Nokia was not used. It also went from its own Symbian system to windowsphone system, which can be regarded as a lot!

However, the closed-source ecological system has not been successful, so none of the leaders in the mobile phone industry at that time have done anything successful. It would definitely be more risky for Google to do it. The only one that succeeded was Apple! This is a cumulative effect. It is the power accumulated step by step from the founding of Apple to the birth of computers. It does not mean that it was not used at the beginning and was used later. This will be caught off guard!

may be closed source for Google, commercial open source use, charging fees! But it seems that this was not done at the beginning. I don’t know if there is any charge for Android today, but the Android ecosystem is still very mature. From software to hardware, it is very large-scale. I think Google will wake up from its dream when it thinks about the acquisition of Android. Well, what do you think about this? Welcome to follow my entrepreneur Li Meng and communicate with me!
