Many users choose iPhone because there are countless interesting applications in their App Store. In 2017, the total number of applications in the App Store declined, which is the first time since the launch of the App Store.

According to the report of Appfigures, at the beginning of 2017, there were 2.2 million applications in the App Store. By the end of 2017, the number of applications had decreased by 100000 to 2.1 million. However, part of the reason for this is Apple. In 2016, Apple decided to clean up the apps that could not adapt to new iPhones and did not comply with the audit guidelines. At the same time, it also removed applications with non 64 bit architecture.

In addition to the above applications, of course, there are also apps that contain viruses, copycats and low-quality apps. It can also be seen from the report of Appfigures that the new applications launched in 2017 have also declined compared with 2016.

Let's look at Google Play Store. Last year, developers released 1.5 million apps in Play Store, while Apple has only half of its 750000 apps. Even so, many developers still use iOS as their first launch platform.
