5 Reason Why Apple’s iPhone App Store Is So Good

Apple’s iPhone App Store is really good and easy to use. Can we explain why this is the case? Is it possible to analyze some of the decisions Apple made that put them in this place, ensuring their serious dominance when it comes to the ‘best’ smartphone (even if they don’t have all the market share yet)? It seems like no one can pull off any reasonable level of competition so far (except for the great try that is the Palm Pre). Here are 5 reasons why Apple’s iPhone App store is so good and why this happened.

#5: Apple’s road map is seriously good

There are several phone manufacturers who really have no sense of where their company is going (think of Motorola), and they are always stuck listening to the carriers, who drive the way phones get made. Apple stuck to a really solid road map, forcing their carriers to accept the phone on their own terms, and knowing they’d say yes because of how good it was.

#4: It’s just all about the damn developers

Since there is already an extremely healthy, motivated, and design-conscious community of developers out there doing work for OSX (and who have been working with macs for a long time), it means that apple’s development kits are very good, and there are already a lot of people who know how to write great software. A lot of these people are now working on the iPhone, too.

#3: No other OS comes close to that of the iPhone

This was actually the simplest, most obvious move of all: if you make the phone, and only make one of them, you can make the OS, too. Unlike all those other phone OS’es (including Google Android) that are supposed to run on dozens, if not hundreds of phones, the iPhone’s is perfectly designed to take advantage of that hardware, and the apps see an amazing jump in quality.

#2: Apple always likes a fight

There were an absolute ton of naysayers out there just chomping at the bit to see the iPhone die, and because of all the other guys in the market, there was no way Apple was going to muscle in and take over. And so when the app store really took off (never mind the initial success of the phone itself), Apple could stand there and smile.

#1: When your standards are high up top, it trickles down

Because Apple worked so hard on their operating system, phone hardware, and built-in applications, those standards are passed down to the developers. If there’s one ‘very simple reason’ why so many of those applications in the app store are so good, it’s this — rigorous standards at the top lead to high quality, all the way down the line.
