Currently, Android leads the mobile phone industry and is
ahead of its rival iPhone in terms of usage. According to an estimate, there
are about 550,000 Android-based mobile phone users as compared to 450,000
iPhone users. The number of apps available on Play Store and Play Store is
equal but still iPhone generates 300% higher revenue than Android, which
encourages developers to build apps for iOS platform.
But why is there such
a large disparity, when Android has surpassed iOS users? The answer is simple:
the strict quality control of Apple App Store. The Android’s lenient policy is
a better choice to launch app development career, but it won’t help you in
earning large sum of money.
The scrupulous approval process is the biggest reason of
Apple’s revenue dominance. Consumers believe that iPhone offers quality apps as
it has a meticulous app submission process. iOS developers charge more for
their apps as it is difficult to meet its strict quality
policies.
The iOS community is safe, and people trust it more when
purchasing an app as it guarantees that the app will be free of malicious codes
or malware. Google Play Store does not provide any such assurance as it is an
open platform. Google Play Store needs to outdo a huge revenue gap in order to
become the undisputed leader in the mobile app development industry.
Even those developers who offer free iOS apps earn profit
from in-app purchases. It is tough to meet Apple’s standard that guarantees
safe and secure apps. Development companies and individuals are struggling to
publish their app on App Store that brings in maximum revenue. Appostrophic is
