a16z Podcast | Apple Has Lock on Luxury Smartphones, But Not Business of TV

a16z Podcast | A Copernican Update ... In Tech, the Smartphone is the Center
- ▶ 12:15 Benedict Evans And so, you know, these are now, you know, a mobile entry price of a mobile phone now is five to 10 dollars to buy the phone, and an Android phone is 30 to 40 dollars, and that's not subsidized price, that's the actual price of buying the… 2 times in the scene

a16z Podcast | Apple Gets Its Music Streaming and Gives News Another Try
- ▶ 1:16 Benedict Evans And iOS nine, a bit like Android M, excuse me, it feels like a bit of a maintenance release in that there's lots, you know, obviously there were a bunch of huge structural changes in iOS eight with extensions and a whole bunch of other…
- ▶ 2:13 Benedict Evans but I think, you know, the ability to have, you know, two windows next to each other, to look at two things at the same time, um, in a more, you know, more fluid way than using an application switcher, um, which you can do on iOS or indeed…

- ▶ 3:43 Benedict Evans Really hard for the Android ecosystem to deliver that, because nobody controls the whole stack.
- ▶ 5:51 Benedict Evans Um, because Android, I mean, I think, another way of thinking about this is that for, um, for Google, Android is a tactic, and cloud is a strategy, whereas for Apple, the device is a strategy, and the cloud is a tactic. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 7:05 Benedict Evans It's a real pain to move to an Android device, and vice versa, if you know, if you're, if you've got everything in Google Photos, it will have to see how well this works on iOS, but clearly on Android, it will automatically sync seamlessly… 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 12:05 Benedict Evans The other thing is that right now, um, about 10% of all the live Google Android devices are running Lollipop, which Google announced at I.O. last year, but actually only deployed in the autumn, so it's been out in the market about eight,… 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 12:05 Benedict Evans The other thing is that right now, um, about 10% of all the live Google Android devices are running Lollipop, which Google announced at I.O. last year, but actually only deployed in the autumn, so it's been out in the market about eight,…
- ▶ 19:15 Benedict Evans So that kind of should be part of Android, or indeed, you know, part of YouTube.
- ▶ 23:21 Benedict Evans Essentially, if you've got a connected light bulb, or connected thermostat, or something, Android probably doesn't fit on that device, just because it's too small and too cheap, and not, hasn't got enough memory or, and CPU storage. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 26:31 Benedict Evans Um, and the fact that somebody is willing to buy a 30 or 40 dollar Android phone does not mean, instead of a 600 dollar 2 times in the scene
a16z Podcast | Messaging is the Medium
- ▶ 15:40 Benedict Evans Now, on Android, of course, which is something I forgot to mention in my blog post, um, you can make your own notifications panel and install one, so, you know, Facebook could make a notifications panel.
a16z Podcast | Mobile is Eating the World (and Apple is Gobbling Fastest)
- ▶ 0:39 Benedict Evans So there was a period two and three years ago where we might have been arguing, well, is Android going to crush Apple at the high end? 7 times in the scene
- ▶ 5:31 Benedict Evans What is it going to mean in five years' time to say I installed an app on my Android smartphone? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 9:37 Benedict Evans Because clearly the guys who run Android would like there to be more Android sales. 8 times in the scene

- ▶ 3:07 Benedict Evans So, I mean, if we go through those sort of one at a time, you know, there's been a question for two or three years as to what was going to happen with Samsung, which had taken half of the Android market by volume and almost all the profits. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 5:50 Benedict Evans I mean, there's a, that kind of leads on to the next question, which is, well, you know, if you're not a shareholder in one of these companies, why does it matter who it is that's selling Android phones, particularly if they're all a… 9 times in the scene
- ▶ 9:04 Benedict Evans But then the thing that flows out of that question is, okay, well, what do we mean when we say Android? 9 times in the scene

a16z Podcast | Apple Takes on Payments and Your Wrist
- ▶ 2:51 Benedict Evans Um, so the interesting thing here is, as I said, we're saying that when you look at the high end segment, that Apple is really the only place Apple competes, um, they've probably only got around half of that segment, and the other half is…
- ▶ 8:41 Benedict Evans Android has had NFC for a couple of years, but you know it was like one device or two devices or two devices. 4 times in the scene

a16z Podcast | The Micro and Macro of Mobile
- ▶ 0:54 Benedict Evans It's revenue on the App Store, and so Google said they'd paid out five billion dollars to developers in, I think, the 13 months since the previous Google I.O., and they said that they have a billion monthly active users of Android. 8 times in the scene
- ▶ 4:38 Benedict Evans Um, and it's not Android competition.
- ▶ 12:15 Benedict Evans So, at the kind of crude level, as I think I said earlier, there's, as it might be, two billion iOS and Android devices on Earth now, give or take, versus, um, probably 1.7000000000 PCs. 4 times in the scene
a16z Podcast | Google I/O -- A Three-Hour Tour (in 30 minutes)
- ▶ 1:03 Benedict Evans One is that it seemed like there was relatively little around Android, and there's lots of nice incremental stuff, but there weren't, like, major strategic moves or major tentpole features, and more of the discussion was around the, what… 4 times in the scene

- ▶ 18:04 Benedict Evans It was basically Android, um, plugged into you and not into your TV screen. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 22:54 Benedict Evans Which I think is very interesting, um, which is, if you look at all of the stuff that they did in Android, um, a lot of it is about blowing the lines between what an app is and what a website is, and how you move between the two. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 23:58 Benedict Evans The more interesting reaction is to say, okay, so we're running, um, Davalick slash what's the new runtime art?
- ▶ 28:18 Benedict Evans Um, you know, they updated Chromecast, there's Apple TV, there's Android Auto, there's Android Wear, there's a developer preview of the notes.
- ▶ 28:27 Benedict Evans So I didn't mention Android One.
- ▶ 28:57 Benedict Evans The other thing that I thought was very interesting is the Android fragmentation conversation, and Apple really likes to talk about this for obvious reasons. 8 times in the scene
a16z Podcast | The Promise (and Nightmare) of Cross-Platform Software
- ▶ 0:56 Benedict Evans You have a bunch of tools that basically have direct analogs on the other platform, whereas as Apple does more, on the one hand, more and more stuff that's about the hardware, and Google does more and more stuff that's about the cloud, and… 2 times in the scene

a16z Podcast | The Apple WWDC 2014 Deep Dive
- ▶ 4:33 Benedict Evans Um, one of them is what they call extensions, which is a way for third-party apps to hook themselves much more deeply into the system, much more controlled than on Android, and so you have 5 times in the scene

a16z Podcast | When Your PC Expires, What's Next?
- ▶ 6:12 Benedict Evans On Android, people think you don't have to write your app twice, but actually you do, because you've got a fundamentally different screen size, so you need to sit and completely rethink what it should look like.
- ▶ 8:49 Benedict Evans The iOS is the one that's really sealed and really locked down and really easy to use, and Android says we're going to make some slightly different compromises here, and therefore you would argue that iOS is actually better for that… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 16:32 Benedict Evans It kind of doesn't look that different, whereas we have no real idea what Mac OS, what iOS or Android are going to look like in five years' time, or what Windows Phone will look like in five years' time.
a16z Podcast | China and Tech
- ▶ 10:46 Benedict Evans I mean, the interesting from part of China from the sort of point of view of the broader mobile ecosystem is that although Apple is present in China and is selling, doing well selling iPhones and iPads, um, obviously the, clearly by far…
a16z Podcast | Searching for Mobile’s Own PageRank

a16z Podcast | Where is the Technology That "Matters?" Right Here
- ▶ 12:47 Benedict Evans So, you know, one of the puzzles in mobile is although the, the sort of the Android Apple platform war is over and they both won, um,
a16z Podcast | Apple and Google Won the Mobile OS War, But a New War Has Already Begun
- ▶ 0:54 Benedict Evans In as much as Apple has about, well, in the launch quarter, they have about 10% of all the phones sold on Earth, and Android has another 45 to 50%, um, although only about two-thirds of those are Google Android and one-third are in China… 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 6:54 Benedict Evans If you are Carrefour in France, right now you have an Android app and an iOS app.

- ▶ 26:37 Benedict Evans And what's going on in Android.
Mobile Is Eating the World, 2015
- ▶ 3:02 Benedict Evans And of course the thing that drives that is cheap Android.
- ▶ 4:56 Benedict Evans And then you get laid against that, you see unit cells of iOS and Android devices, and you can see very clearly a shift in scale.
- ▶ 7:24 Benedict Evans And so you're not just seeing cloning, you're seeing really interesting and innovative new business models coming out of that market and changing how people think about what it means to be a handset maker or an Android handset maker.
- ▶ 11:57 Benedict Evans If I was to say I installed an app on my Android smartphone in five years' time, I don't really know what any of those words would mean. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 13:24 Benedict Evans And so what you see here first is global handset sales, and Apple has about 15% of all the phones sold on Earth, and Android is the next 50 to 60%, and then the rest are feature phones that are converting very fast to those 35 dollar… 5 times in the scene
