Whenever the company launches any new device, it synchronizes it with the launch of its other iOS versions. In this way, you will find relatively less fragmentation issues in case of iPhone app development than Android app has. On the other side, as Android is an open platform, it provides limited control on the hardware and operating system versions of its devices. Fragmentation problems result in increase in the overall cost involved in developing any new app and thereby, reduction in the revenue margin. Hence, with the aim to avoid or reduce fragmentation issues, startups should go with iphone app development.

3. Increases the Chance to Get Active Users and High Revenue

Apple Group has witnessed huge demands of iphones and other iOS operated devices in most of the developed countries and affluent areas worldwide. On the other side, if we talk about users of Samsung or other Android operated devices; we have found that they have relatively less buying power even though number count is high.

Considering this fact, we the experts of iPhone App Development Company Canada always prefer and recommend novices of the industry to choose iPhone for developing innovative apps (utility or gaming apps) to earn higher revenue from your spend money and efforts. Another interesting fact we have noticed from the app market is that a large number of iphone users often willingly spend on utility and other innovative apps to fulfill their varying requirements.

In simple words, earning money is the most significant factor for every app development group or individual developer.

Hence, it becomes the job of a user to delete the unused ones.

Because of this, app developers have to bear a huge maintenance cost in case they go with android apps development.
