Emphasizing iOS

Albeit the world is going green with Android nowadays as it’s the most grossing mobile app development trend, yet there were several companies that went on App Store initially for their app launch and later they made their presence on Play Store for some obvious reasons. With over more than 40% mobile transactions, Apple Pay remains the most prominent mobile payment solution in USA. Another astounding fact that leads the merchants to make their presence on App Store is that about 78% percent of all the orders were made by iPhone in US during the holiday season of 2015.
