  15. Why I choose Android on Why Developers Still Prefer iOS To Android · · Score: 1

    As a developer who would like to write apps for both platforms, I only write apps for Android for a few simple reasons:

    1) You have to have a Mac to do iPhone development
    2) The Apple App Store requires you to pay every year to keep using the store while Android Market only requires a one time payment
    3) I have more friends who own Android phones than own iPhones, so this gives me a larger group of testers.
    4) This one no longer applies, but you used to have to be on AT&T to have an iPhone
