iOS has around 70% share of mobile app revenue and most of the premium customers. If you're building a business, media or communication tool you can't compete without an iOS app.
- M4v3R 6y agoApple's "walled garden" approach is exactly the reason why they have gathered 70% share of mobile app revenue. One of the reasons is that people feel generally more safe on iOS because there's almost no malware there. The other is that Android being more "open" actually hurts the developers because there's rampant piracy on Google's OS [1]. On iOS piracy is almost non-existing (unless one jailbreaks their phone which nowadays pretty much no one does [2]).
