IOS or Android: Which Operating System is better to create a Mobile Application?

One of the most common questions from our clients: which platform is better to choose for a future product, so in this article we decided to highlight the problem of choosing an OS for a mobile application? After reading the article, you will already know on which platform it will be better to create a mobile application in your case.

To begin with, let's touch on the mobile device market, what share of Android and iOS devices make up the global and Russian sales.

Android is an open source operating system owned by Google. Leading manufacturers of mobile devices use it for their devices: Samsung, Lenovo, LG, Huawei, Sony, and HTC.

IOS is an operating system that belongs exclusively to Apple, therefore it is used only in its products, it is in many ways a closed OS.

More and more manufacturers are using Android OS as their operating system. For example, Xiaomi, which ranks third in sales of mobile devices in Russia and first in China, also uses the Android OS. It turns out that according to statistics, Android wins.

Solvency or quality of the device?

We know that for our clients an important condition when choosing an OS for a mobile application is the ability to pay of future users. So, there is a positive trend in the world, the quality of products of global manufacturers of mobile devices began to grow rapidly in the face of tough competition.

It is believed that users of Apple products are more solvent than users of devices from other manufacturers. But it is not always the case. Consumers are no longer paying for the brand, but for the quality. Users with above-average incomes are ready to abandon the iPhone in favor of the Samsung smartphone, which is not inferior in quality and functionality. It follows from this that users of Android OS devices are also solvent.

 

So where do you start?

Start with analytics, find out which mobile platform has more users on your site. If you are not yet ready to pay for the creation of a mobile application on two operating systems at once, we advise you to order first a mobile application on the platform that is installed by most of your users. As your business grows, you will be able to create an application(Blockchain App Development Company in Nyc) on the second platform.

If you do not have data on the mobile operating systems of users, but you need to reach a large part of the audience, then choose the Android OS. The only exceptions are products and services of the premium segment, in this case it would be rational to choose iOS for development.
