iOS-first vs Android-first — which platform to launch on.
Most US-centric consumer launches still go iOS-first. Global, emerging-market and creator-economy launches often invert that.
| Dimension | iOS first | Android first |
|---|---|---|
| US monetisation | Higher per user | Lower per user |
| Global reach | Lower | Higher |
| Creator-economy fit | Mixed | Strong |
| Side-loading / payments flexibility | Limited | More flexible |
| Best for | US consumer, premium | Global, creator, emerging |
/// Origami's take
If revenue concentrates in the US and feature-flag-style launches matter, ship iOS first. If global reach and Android-skewed audiences matter more, invert.
