Dark Horse Programmer: The outlook for Apple and iOS developers

According to incomplete local statistics, the recent hotspot for iOS developers remains: "The outlook for the iOS development industry is unclear. "So there are a part of junior developers and expatriates who think this is Apple's pot!" The next step is to take a closer look at what the future of Apple and iOS developers are all about.

Regarding Apple's opinion, I believe most people have heard this:

The market share of iOS is far less than the market share of Android!

The apple is too expensive, the person who buys must be few!

Apple shares tumbled in the previous period! Is it going to be too soon?

Iphonese sales decline, Apple crisis!

I said here: what is this? I believe a lot of people have seen this picture.

I would like to say that this contrast is not dripping!

Because Apple and Google, and Microsoft are different. Microsoft used to make money by selling Windows systems and Office software, so the market share of the system is important to it. Google's Android is similar, but not as much as Microsoft. (and Google's main profit-making tool is search) and Apple is different from the two giants, the main profit is the equipment, so the market share and profitability of the device is related to Apple's profit focus. iOS system just adds luster to your device, in other words, one of the selling points of Apple devices is the iOS system. The illusion that there is a competitive relationship between iOS and Android can only be attributed to the great success of Apple devices.

Every year to the Apple conference, all kinds of selling kidney said began to crazy out, so that everyone's feeling, Apple products, no one to buy, so naturally there will be a lot of people will think, when one day Apple products can not be sold, then the product and make money by the giant is not also doomed?

Figure-The number of mobile phones in the domestic use of the situation

By the visible, this kind of thing is impossible.

On the street, the most common phone is Apple, which is beyond doubt. Why is there such a phenomenon? Apple mobile phone is clearly more expensive than other brands of mobile phones, but why do we still want to buy it? There is no denying that there is a view that Hyun-fu! Oh, Mom! Thousands of dollars of mobile phone is dazzling rich, the rich also too good when it. (Boss: Stop it and talk!) So, the real reason is the double excellent product and service.

Apple is a hardware and software company culture interdependent, which will inevitably bring great advantages, although there may also be a ripple effect! But this moment will not come soon, and also just some so-called "brick house" proposed such a possibility! Apple is only a new generation of product lines a year, the world has a large number of people are deeply love apple fruit powder, "one-stop experience" and many other factors prompted Apple to have time, have the power to do a better product.

Recently, there has been a growing number of exposures to Apple: "Apple dropped $1 billion in investment"; "The Cook's visit to China for a developer symposium in Beijing"; "Buffett's contrarian 1 billion-dollar copy of the Apple"; "will Huawei and Apple cross-authorise each other?" Even if Iphonese sales fell, Apple also has to reinvent the offline interactive experience standard "; " Apple has a new patent, and it controls the Mac and Apple TV," he added. More relevant people said: "Apple's iphone era has passed, Applecar is the next cash cow." ”

Figure-Apple's incremental development spending data

With so much news to show, Apple's future is bright, and for iOS developers, the future can be developed not only for Iphone,imac,ipad,iwatch, but also for more updated areas like cars, VR, and so you tell me, does iOS development have a future?

　　Future development of developers

The professional development of the students who have graduated from the iOS Academy, which has been counted by the Dark Horse programmer for many years, is roughly the following three types:

　　100 Years of professional technology

There are people who know from the beginning what they want and what their dreams are, including part of the iOS program apes, they know that technology is the first productivity, they understand that in this era of the rise of mobile internet madness, need to learn more and more skills to be invincible, In order to advance the human society, so they just started to break the technology of iOS development only, but they are very clear, these are not enough, they have to learn android,php,java,python and so on. So for them, continuous learning to slowly complete their dreams, to achieve their value of life.

　　Cross-border development through technology-driven enterprise

There are such a kind of people, they know, their future is not to do the development of the program, they hope that they can use the development of iOS, into a business, and then through their own various aspects of learning, and finally become a good management personnel, the final promotion for the company's management or other departments. Often they are not very interested in their own technology, they feel that their future should be a company's middle and senior managers, to become the backbone of the company, for the long-term development of the company's own part of the power.

　　No long-term planning for future development

The rest of the class of people, they are confused about the future, do not know what to do in the future, only know that at this stage they need to survive, so in this mobile Internet hot today, and for various reasons, such as: Apple's application is cool; companies need to do mobile development program Ape , mobile development talent are high salaries and many other reasons, the homeopathic choice of self-study or participate in training iOS development to become an iOS developer.

According to a recent survey, those who specialize in technology "dead houses" are distributed in a variety of large and small companies, desperately knocking on the code, and relative to their former own, regardless of salary or quality of life and attitude of life have a great change, and those who intend to cross-border development and no long-term planning of students, have also gradually had their own life plan.

So no matter what mentality you want to learn iOS development, do not worry about the future, because Apple's development prospects are still very good, and the future of iOS developers will also be involved in various areas, if you are worried, it doesn't matter, to the dark Horse, Dark Horse programmer will accompany you around.
