A) Cost:
It's quite obvious that Apple products are very costly as compared to its competitors. It misses out that large section of consumers, which is cost buyer and not a value buyer.
B) No cross platform development:
IOS apps are only applicable for Apple products. Thus, it is ignoring the increasing popularity of other relatively cheap devices and thereby their market as well. Besides, it is unable to take advantage of other features of different devices, which is somehow reducing the potential of IOS app.
C) Multitasking:
It is also a non ignorable limitation, as the first thing people look in any smartphone is its ability to work more. IPhone user cannot open multiple apps at the same time. If user wishes to switch to another application while one is going on, he has to close the current app. It is quite annoying and might repel users who want brisk navigation.
D) Jailbreak:
One cannot use third party applications on the IOS platform without jailbreaking it. It's the only way by which new apps, themes can be accessed from App Store. It is hindrance for the people who want to use such applications.
E) Bluetooth:
Apple provides Bluetooth connectivity only between Apple phones. The transfer of files to other devices is strictly prohibited via Bluetooth. You have to use much time consuming and irritating ways to transfer or share file with different platforms.
F) Sanctions:
Apple is notorious for delays in giving approvals for app from Apple's App Store. The process is very much strenuous and complicated. Google Play is much quicker when it comes to accepting the app request. It definitely checks patience of the user.
G) Web App Woes:
IOS web development is an altogether different topic which carries enough baggage of imperfection.
- They cannot access iPhone and iPad inbuilt features.
- App Store doesn't display your web app.
- They need to be installed in a different manner than the traditional ones.
- You need an internet connection to access such apps.
