Illustration: The operating system Android and iOS
KOMPAS.com - Although the Android operating system dominate the global mobile device sales, but the application developers ua (developers) still find many benefits when making an application for iOS. There are several factors that influence the decision of the developers. First, about the money. Apple recorded ua 800 million U.S. dollars to pay for iOS developers in the last quarter of 2012. While Google, just pay 210 million U.S. dollars in 2011 to Android developers. Flurry mobile application research institute, noted, ua if an app on iOS and Android have the same number ua of users, then the developer gets 1 U.S. dollar of 0.23 dollars Apple and Google. Based on the comparative advantage of this, I wonder if developers prefer to create an application in iOS. The second factor that makes prioritizing iOS developers, because the operating system and hardware devices are not many fragmented like Android. According to the research ua institute OpenSignal, the current model of Android running on 1,363 devices from 599 different brands. ua Data from Google calls, 65% of Android devices are still running the older operating system, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Only 7% of devices running the latest version of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Compare with users of Apple mobile devices, which is fairly diligently update ua the operating system. Research institute Train Times noted, there are 86.2% of iPhone and iPod Touch that has been using the latest version of IOS 5, 12% running iOS 4, and 1.7% with iOS 3. The last factor, Apple users tend to be willing to spend money for a paid application ua that he needs. While Android users, tend not to want to buy apps. This is clearly not profitable for developers.
