<strong>Top</strong> <strong>reasons</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>choose</strong> <strong>iOS</strong> <strong>Plat<strong>for</strong>ms</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Startups</strong><br />
One question that rises up pretty often is whether <strong>to</strong> <strong>choose</strong> Android or <strong>iOS</strong> app development. <strong>iOS</strong><br />
and Android are widely used plat<strong>for</strong>ms <strong>to</strong> build apps. Considering the current demand <strong>for</strong> both,<br />
which one do we pick? We have listed down few <strong>reasons</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>choose</strong> <strong>iOS</strong> plat<strong>for</strong>m that would help in<br />
relating the requirements with the plat<strong>for</strong>m that shall be chosen. A common knowledge is that most<br />
of the development companies build apps <strong>for</strong> apple users first. For example apps like instagram was<br />
released first <strong>to</strong> apple users, there are some apps that exist in the apple s<strong>to</strong>re but not in the android<br />
play s<strong>to</strong>re.<br />
1. Reach out <strong>to</strong> the users<br />
Apple devices are more commonly used in affluent parts of the world. Wide ranges of people who<br />
use iPhones af<strong>for</strong>d and use innovative apps <strong>to</strong> fulfil their needs. iPhone app development<br />
companied <strong>for</strong> iPhone apps <strong>for</strong> higher revenue. Alongside the higher revenue, Apple apps usually<br />
see a higher number of active users and a higher adoption.
2. User Experience:<br />
Applications developed <strong>for</strong> iPhone users provide an incomparable user experience. Apple never<br />
fails <strong>to</strong> provide unique UI /UX environment that would attract the users and developers. Apple <strong>iOS</strong><br />
provides superlative quality of UI and UX that always comes on the <strong>to</strong>p. Every iPhone app has<br />
unique user interface and functionalities that reach out <strong>to</strong> more users who love trying new apps.<br />
3. Secure Marketplace:<br />
Apple plat<strong>for</strong>m are more organized, they have secure market places with rules and quality control<br />
methods. These practices provide a stable environment <strong>for</strong> developers, those results in reliability<br />
among the app users. iPhone restricts bad or suspicious apps <strong>to</strong> be deployed on the app s<strong>to</strong>re.<br />
4. Loyal Audience:<br />
Android is a larger plat<strong>for</strong>m with a wider reach <strong>to</strong> the audience but its users are less active and loyal.<br />
Apple users are known <strong>for</strong> their loyalty <strong>to</strong> the brand. They are very unlikely <strong>to</strong> switch <strong>to</strong> android or<br />
other plat<strong>for</strong>ms. App startups need this level of loyalty from an audience <strong>for</strong> their brand <strong>to</strong> succeed<br />
and increase revenue. Hence <strong>iOS</strong> <strong>for</strong> business would impact greatly on the growth of the business.<br />
5. App Purchases<br />
Any business app that features in-app purchases then <strong>iOS</strong> needs <strong>to</strong> be taken in<strong>to</strong> consideration. <strong>iOS</strong><br />
app plat<strong>for</strong>m allows <strong>to</strong> raise some funds through the in app purchase feature. The main intention of<br />
developing an app is <strong>to</strong> reach out <strong>to</strong> a wide range of users or the target audiences and sell the app<br />
and services. Apple has many users who would purchase and explore the app, also who are willing<br />
<strong>to</strong> pay <strong>for</strong> the app. It is a fact that iPhone apps would give a start up more reach, exposure and<br />
revenue.
6. Free from bloat ware<br />
Apple users are known <strong>for</strong> their loyalty <strong>to</strong> the brand. They are very unlikely <strong>to</strong> switch <strong>to</strong> android or<br />
other plat<strong>for</strong>ms. App startups need this level of loyalty from an audience <strong>for</strong> their brand <strong>to</strong> succeed<br />
and increase revenue.<br />
Android play s<strong>to</strong>re is often loaded with third party apps that create bloatware which crashes<br />
frequently and slows down the app as well as the phone. Apps that are deployed in the app s<strong>to</strong>re are<br />
moni<strong>to</strong>red <strong>for</strong> its quality very closely and prevents from carrier junk flood in the app s<strong>to</strong>re.<br />
7. Compatibility:<br />
Android OS supports many devices whereas <strong>iOS</strong> is unique. <strong>iOS</strong> is a close source and cannot be<br />
altered. Apple controls the core software and upgrades the functionalities in every version<br />
release. This is advantageous <strong>for</strong> app development companies because the focus can be on<br />
developing the app and not worry about making it compatible with multiple devices.<br />
Conclusion<br />
The fact would remain that an apps growth and revenue will solely depend on the output and<br />
features the app can produce <strong>to</strong> the users. <strong>iOS</strong> mobile app development is recommended <strong>for</strong><br />
start-ups because it provides high level user experience and more exposure. iPhone apps continue<br />
<strong>to</strong> be the first choice <strong>for</strong> startups.
