Right now the Android- and iOS-powered smartphones are the most popular among the users around the world, but their market share is far from equal. The NEO Group statistics report that the share of Android powered smartphones in the US market is about 61%, while iOS has claimed only 29%.
iOS advantages – refined and ready-to-go out of the box
Despite the Android-devices being spread much wider than iPhones, the best apps are often launched at iOS first: Periscope app by Twitter is a great example, its Android version was given the green light a lot later. Why does it happen? First of all, iPhone owners may provide a more reliable income source for the publisher: they are statistically wealthier and ready to spend more on the apps they need.
The second reason is Apple and the incredible job that they’ve done in making developers’ lives easier.
As we all know, last year Apple has launched the new programming language Swift, which was supposed to not only to simplify app development but also to help the developers evade the errors they often make with other languages. The sources asked by Bloomberg paper said that Swift almost instantly became the devs’ favorite and became very popular.
At the same time, developing the apps for such a fragmented platform as Android is a lot more demanding process: programmers need to create several versions of their app for them to work on older OS versions because the software is generally updating very slowly on the devices with Android.
Android advantages – a platform that is flexible and easily customizable
Of course, everything we said earlier doesn’t mean that iOS is just better than Android. Mobile apps developers continue to support and launch new good enough apps for Google’s OS. And there are reasons for it. We decided to let you know about main and most important advantages that Android has before iOS.
- It’s very important to note that Android’s audience simply is bigger. That’s why a lot of users will wait impatiently for an app to get released in Google Play and this part of the audience can’t be ignored.
- If you aren’t satisfied with the way your iOS device works, you won’t be able to do something with it. Apple actually doesn’t give their iPhone and iPad users any choice. People who own Android phones can easily download solutions that enable them to change OS parameters, expanding their functionality higher simply throwing useless functions away.
- This Android advantage is a follow-up from the previous one. It’s on this list because quite a lot of people see this as the only reason to go for Android over iOS. You can’t change your iPhone’s interface drastically in any ways, so the best system for customization fans is undoubtedly the Android. You can install a new launcher, change system fonts, set up a widget system – and your phone will look (and feel!) absolutely different.
- If the moderators gave drop an app from App Store, 99% of iPhone and iPad users won’t be able to install it. Of course, there are extreme options like getting a ‘jailbreak’ and installing the needed tweak, but it takes an eternity to break the latest iPhone models down and not everyone is ready to waste time and energy installing it. Besides, it’s simply against the user’s license agreement. Android users, in turn, can just find an APK-file they need on the web and simply install it. You are not forced to use Google Play.
So, if your product got successful on one platform, get ready to port it to the other, there’s no way to avoid it if you are looking to turn a profit with your project..
