So if you ever need such a small, niche program, you are far more likely to find it on Android, overlaid on Google Maps, rather than on an iPhone.

Like, for example, an infantry IFF app on a secure field-deployed 4G network in Afghanistan. I somehow doubt that Apple will ever produce a ruggedized iPhone capable of surviving combat operations.

iPhones are already being used in combat...
