In the US, maybe. Android rules the rest of the world and Europe, Japan and China.


Definitely does not rule so absolutely that you can ignore iOS development. In Western Europe my anecdata is that iPhone is winning with high frequency users.


OFC it's the second one over Android smartphones. Which is the alternative? Still, in Spain, France, Italy, Germany... the iPhone it's seen for poshy people and Android covers the 90% of the needs of the average guy at a much cheaper price.


Almost any app that's available on both iOS and Android will do more than 50% of its revenues from iOS even in markets that are 75% Android.

Those "poshy" people are quick to click on in-app purchases.


Not always, as most iPhone users here are CEOs and mid-range managers. They love cutting costs down.


iPhone has 68 percent of the Japanese mobile phone market.


> Europe

definitely not


Spaniard here. Definitively yes. I know about France, Germany, Italy... and it's truly behind the Android market.
