For Mobile Developers, iOS 7 Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts
Leading up to last weeks Apple event and the unveiling of the iPhone 5s, the Internet may have led you to believe that Android is better. The reality for startups, however, is more nuanced. When it comes to the first choice developers have for starting in mobile, Apple still leads the competition, as mobile expert Steve Cheney asserts these advancements place iOS roughly 18-24 months ahead of Android. (If you havent read this post from early August 2012 by Cheney, please do - he called much of this months ago.) And, while the runaway growth of Android has compressed the time by which hot iOS apps release on Android -- for instance, Instagram released Android right before their Series B, but more recently SnapChat already had an Android client by the time of their Series A -- for small technology startups, Android may be the platform for growth, but iOS remains the platform of choice upon which to build new mobile experiences.
