Within my family and circle of friends, many of us are abandoning Apple iPhones due to their forced obsolescence and upgrading to Android phones. In most cases we end up saving quite a lot of money as well. So if your target demographic isn't the cool kids and people who will pay over $1000 for the latest iPhone, then you might want to consider Android first business model.
Being a one person software team having a good share of only one market is going to be more profitable than a tiny share of two markets with the attendant costs and effort of supporting two environments.
@jerrac's comments are worth taking heed of.
- wingerlang 8y ago> forced obsolescence What do you mean by this? My 5S device from 2013 will support iOS 12. The battery might be dying but it is replaceable.
- CyberFonic 8y agoI have an original iPad (v1?) and a iPhone 3GS, neither of which can be upgraded and yet in both cases the battery is fine and they work Ok but with very out of date software which in turn means that I can't access even relatively benign web sites effectively.
