Description

Why?

I want to build a Native iOS App for myself that loads & runs as fast as possible. 🏎️

What?

As of June 2025, iOS has 58.64% market share in the US:

In the EU the number is lower (34.42%) but rising: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe Android will always be ahead because of budget-friendly options.

Percentage of iPhone is strongly correlated with GDP per capita in the country: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-market-share-by-country

E.g: Norway has 70%+ and Denmark has 69% iOS market share. But most importantly, all English-speaking countries have 50%< market share.

Writing

What About Flutter?

We still love Flutter; and we would use where the target was an app that doesn't require a fast boot/execution time.
