Choosing Android or iOS is a never-ending debate! The rivalry between the two mobile app platforms is evident when learners cannot decide for themselves which platform to choose, ie which will be more advantageous for them in attracting end users and keeping them engaged. Although they leave the task of deciding it to the developer companies, there are certain factors in consideration that can help them decide the same.
However, the competition between the iOS and Android duo platforms is inevitable as iOS gains a larger market share in Australia and other advanced countries. So, here is a list of the main reasons why Apple apps are in the first place.
#1 Unmatched Application Quality
First of all, iOS apps are more professional and sophisticated. The iOS platform brings an unparalleled experience to users in niches such as health, media, food delivery, personal services, gaming, which are now the mainstays of the app industry.
#2 More consumer acceptance
When you consider the revenue models of both platforms, Android definitely offers stiff competition to iOS. It has a higher share of ad-sponsored apps, while iOS apps mostly rely on purchases. Although iOS app revenue efficiently depends on user payments, they still manage to earn more revenue due to higher indexed consumed spend.
#3 Speed of agile development
It has always been a primary concern for app owners how quickly their app can get to market, iOS takes much less time. Simply put, the iOS app doesn’t have to go through the system’s meticulous release cycles, called chunking. Android apps go through this as they target a variety of devices running on the operating system, with vast differences in screen sizes, device performance, and specialties.
In a nutshell, the shorter the release cycle of an iOS app, they have a much higher acceptance by developers.
#4 Advanced Feature Set of iOS Devices
The features or functionalities available on Android devices are surely not comparable with those of iPhone and iPad. The advanced feature set of iOS devices, coupled with large storage capacity and fast processing speed, take app operation to a whole new level.
#5 Market statistics where everyone wins
Not only from a technical point of view, demographics tell us about the winning situation of iOS applications. Both are undoubtedly in a neck-and-neck race, iOS user stats are more attractive with a higher percentage of young users, higher engagement rate, more revenue, and higher technical skills/higher education. So obviously iOS users will spend more time in an app.
Final note
Apparently, from a business perspective, if you are considering starting your app business, go for the iOS platform. Not only is the development less complex and will take less time to market, but the iPhone/iPad apps are easy to use and run smoothly, giving users greater satisfaction.
