iPhone app development is profitable if you plan it right!

Apr 18, 2016 4:54AM PDT

Many think that iPhone app development is too risky and would definitely break the bank unlike android development. Well, that's not the case. Mostly, app development will end in failure due to lack of proper planning and research. For iPhone and Android, success shares not much relation with the platform of app development. For iPhone app owners, the market is wide open with an established user base. Also, the ROI is greater for iPhone apps. So, one might need to take all the steps that are prerequisite in ensuring success, irrespective of the platform used.

So how much did he make?

http://exisweb.net/how-much-money-app-store is an example of how much you can make on your average app.

"Then reality set in.

199 units old = US$209 in sales = US$135 proceeds (net to me). In order to get the app on the app store I needed to pay the $99 developer fee.

So after 2 months and 1 week my (before tax) profit was $36."

Later he writes: "I had a few other app ideas for the future… but the cost/benefit ratio simply does not justify it.

I’m going to leave it."

There are companies that are ready to help you develop apps (for a fee) or sell you more tools and those that manage your app and process.

The real money is not in the app!
