Developing unique apps for iPhone users has become a side hustle for many techies in India. The reason for choosing iOS over Android is simple: iPhone users are more willing to spend money in buying apps or making in-app purchases. While Android has a far greater user base in India and across the word, when it comes to generating money, developers eye iPhone users.
And to tap deep into iPhone user’s pockets, developers are now forced to look into niche segments or gaps, where there aren’t many competing apps, to have a chance at scoring big.
One such segment is launching apps for kids. With school-going children getting access to iPhones, there’s an increased demand for quality and safe apps for kids. A lot of developers are trying to crack this segment and one iOS app that has recently managed to take the centre stage is ‘Lil Artist’, developed by Arima Jain and Aman Jain.
In an interview with News18 Tech, Arima Jain and Aman Jain share their journey and how they took advantage of the Apple Accelerator in Bengaluru to create their app. Excerpts.
The idea for creating the “Lil Artist” app originated from our observation of increased screen time among children during the COVID-19 pandemic. We noticed that while children were spending more time on screens, they weren’t gaining much educational value from it. To bridge this gap, we wanted to create an app that would provide an enjoyable yet educational experience for children. Thus, the concept of “Lil Artist” was born, with the aim of combining fun and learning in a way that would captivate young minds.

As developers, We’ve experienced that when it comes to comparing Android and iOS, there is a notable difference in revenue potential. We’ve found that iOS tends to generate higher revenue compared to Android. The user base on iOS is known for their higher willingness to pay for premium apps and in-app purchases. The App Store provides a streamlined purchasing process, making it easier for users to make transactions. Additionally, iOS users are often early adopters and are more inclined to spend on apps and digital content. While revenue potential can vary depending on factors such as the app’s target audience and monetization strategy, we’ve generally seen better revenue results on the iOS platform. However, it’s important to carefully consider the specific requirements of your app and your target market when deciding between Android and iOS.
