If there’s one sure thing to make a former iPhone user return to iPhone again, it is through the apps that becomes available to the OS.
It really doesn’t matter now who has the most apps in a market. It’s the few great apps that encourages and motivates consumers to keep using an OS. Right now, iOS is winning the app frontline.
Highlight, Pair, Instagram, and even the Mass Effect apps has remained exclusive to the app store. Although Instagram may have plans to launch an android app… android users are probably already used to the “alternatives”.
You may argue that some “alternatives” are better. However, a better product doesn’t always mean more interesting to use. Environment also affects the product. This is why Facebook is almost ubeatable now even if Google+ is a better product.
What do you think?
