There has always been a talk about which platform to use for developing mobile apps and is very debatable these days. In one of my previous Blogs, we discussed the pros and cons of Native Apps and Cross Platform Apps. When it comes to developing native apps, there is a comparison between Android or iOS? On which platform to develop the application first and a lot more.

There has always been a rivalry between the app development companies of iPhone and the Android App Development companies. As a result, there is always something new and exciting about the market in terms of mobile application development and end-users. The fierce competition between these two leaders who dominate the mobile application market has even made it necessary for developers to judge and decide on the right option for career development.

The market share was the bone of contention between these two smartphone platform giants but the final judgment depends on one development company to another and their existing requirements for their applications, but here I will highlight some of the areas where the iOS platform can turn out to be an incredible choice for mobile app development.

Benefits of iOS that surpasses Android in the race of the application -

1. The Quality of the Application is more Desirable

Quantitatively, the number of mobile applications developed for Android platforms is greater than those developed for iOS platforms, but when the quality of the mobile application is taken into account, the tables of accountability are surely to backwards. The iOS platform offers unparalleled quality, especially in media niches, children's apps or games.

2. No Carrier Data

Android allows devices or smartphones to be downloaded with third-party applications with compromise in the quality with high subscription rates. Even many of the pre-installed applications do not achieve the quality as promised, providing a not great overall experience. Apple does not allow unwanted or useless mobile applications. This is a benefit that iOS users enjoy over Android users.

3. Complemented User Experience

Indeed the user interface on iOS devices has not undergone major changes since iOS 7 which unlike Android differs a lot from one manufacturer to another because of its skinning. Fragmentation is one of the biggest problem for Android, nearly 60% of all iOS users use the latest version of iOS while this number is much lower when Android devices where less than 10% use latest Android versions. Yet another problem with fragmentation is that a large number of carriers and handset manufacturers which are associated with Android do not keep their users updated with the newer Android versions. This problem exacerbates with the increasing and endless number of devices running on iOS.

While Apple does not allow Skinning and then allows users to upgrade to new iOS versions, resulting in a more consistent and great user experience.

4. Better HTML support

HTML5 has the potential to replace Flash to meet the multimedia needs and requirements of users on the web. After all, it's already a big thing on the web these days, and better support will certainly boost the use of iOS devices.

5. Dynamic icons for applications

The iOS app icons are very attractive and enjoyable, they are aesthetically designed and some folders and applications display notifications even without internet connection. While in this android suffers from limited capabilities and features.

6. Application lists are compatible with tablets

The Apple App Store offers long lists of apps which are managed category wise. It shows iPhone and iPad apps have different sections. iPad apps are specifically designed to fit tablets because of its larger screens.

7. More better Siri

Apple has improvised its Siri with many new features that answer questions by using artificial Intelligence technology. The questions may vary according to a variety of problems to which it provides very satisfying answers. Siri has been made so sophisticated that very few answers surfaced.

8. Better energy management

iOS is ahead in the race when it comes to energy management. One of the reasons being that ios is very disgusting to any third-party applications that run in the background. Another reason is that the iPhone 4S does not provide LTE support. The battery life is one of the most reliable measures to take into account when buying a smartphone. Apple surely gives its users a better feeling of satisfaction and many people vouch for the purchase of a cell phone.

9. Better support for USB audio devices

IOS devices can record and play audio with their standard USB devices. This ability to play with USB audio devices is not available on Android phones. The android USB port can not accommodate audio devices. Potential buyers are putting more emphasis on smartphones that support good audio features and music on iOS devices sounds great.

10. Ease of compatibility

Unlike Android, which is supported by the abundance of devices on the market, the variety of devices in case of iOS are still compatible with each other. It is therefore quite easy for mobile application developers to focus more on development than on the compatibility of applications running on different devices. Apple devices have advanced features and superior processor speed with huge storage, so iPhone users can use small, feature-rich applications that can be developed using human interface guidelines used for iOS app development. iOS, iPhone and iPad are increasingly used by business classes and are making their way into our young and younger generation.

The points above highlight some areas where iOS is doing very well. For businesses and businesses, adapting their products to the right market audience is a key factor in keeping their business at the forefront of users and enhancing the value of their brand.

Apart from end users, here are some advantages of developing mobile apps for business:

1. Attract new customers - Attracting new customers and having them stay with your business is the key to generating more sales. With an iPhone application developed, companies can advertise to a more informed audience. A quality mobile developer will present many related suggestions that are very relevant to the products you sell on the market.

2. Ease of Use -  iPhone apps are very easy to use and enjoyable, making them more desirable among users. The more satisfaction they get from your apps, the better the relationship you'll develop with them. A well-designed app can present new ways to increase profits, revenue and can serve you with many new offers.

3. Improved customer experience - Your business can keep lines of communication open 24/7 via your app and reduce the need for a 24-hour call center to receive requests from your customers. customers. They will then be able to access business services with much greater ease. You can even highlight any special events and upcoming sales by sending them periodic updates.

iOS does not compromise on its quality and every mobile developer should take advantage of the awesome features that come with iOS phones. Quality has appealed to many users and so huge benefits can be gained by developing ios applications. An app must first be designed for iOS to test all limits and skill sets. Creating on Android later will always be easier.
