Because iPhone users spend on average $30 to $35 and hence presents a good opportunity to develop apps and target it to iPhone users.
Apple also launched Apple Pay recently to cater its users with the payment option. The data suggests that more than 30% of the iPhone/iPad owners use Apple Pay service for their online store so as to integrate it with their mobile app. This also helped Apple to remain at the top and retain customer base from competitors.
Another aspect of iPhones is with the number of sessions that it generates per day. A whopping close to 50 billion iPhone sessions. With iPhone fever ongoing and the popularity on the rise, this number is soon going to surpass and create a new record. For the iPhone application development company and iPad app development company, it is imperative to create an app that can be listed among this 50 billion daily sessions. It is very obvious that Apple came to existence little earlier than the others which lead them to be the market leader in the smartphone industry. In such a scenario, mobile app developers are left with no other choice but to follow the industry leader in order to spread their own presence in the mobile app field.
