There are billions of Smartphones out there with the different mobile platforms, but these two are most widely used. The android is popular due to a bunch of free apps and support features it offers. Whilst the Apple iOS gained so much popularity due to its exclusive features focused to cater the business class people.

UI and UX Became Important

The mobile application development industry is facing fierce competition. Thousands of applications of similar nature are getting launched. Here, it has been important to stay on top, which can be possible if and only if the UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) is considered as an inherent part during the mobile app development. The days are gone, when you launch anything on the name of an app and people keep on using it as they don't have any other option. Now, they are having many choices.
