It's of my knowledge that 90% of households in america (Where roblox is placed, not that I'm trying to annoy other countries) own a google device and only 80% own an apple device. I understand they already have c, c#, c++ developers but not as many Java developers but apple products are more money than they're worth forcing households to buy an android for a lower price (price depends on what company makes it and quality from that company). And now there seems to be some tablets for kids popping up everywhere that all run on android because the android OS can be used by any company. If roblox had went the extra marathon to develop roblox for android and not iOS they wouldn't lose money when all the kid tablets started popping up. Anyone could've predicted kids tablets but roblox didn't?

Give me the explanation.

Apple is much bigger than android.
They own a bigger 'market share' than it so it wuld make sense to try and start on top and worak down. As well as this they have people on apple who work for them so they might as well let them help? i think...?

@N0rse

And that's why you want to pay the extra $200?

No. But there are plenty of people who would happily pay more money just to have a better looking product.

Apple is a WAY bigger company and own alot of the market when it comes to portable devices, so go to the biggest and your a winner c:

@The explosive

You have to look at statistics, apple products may be big but a lot of people can't afford thier tablets. The only reason they make all their money is because households all over that buy one buy about 3 more. Households that can't afford one most likely (notice that there is a chance) have a google device (if they are not completely out of money poor)

Mr, it has nothing to do with their prices.
It's about how much of the product market they won and apple are top for that.....
plus who doesnt like Ios? its the best operating system for me.

@explosive

iOS is slow and glitchy now, and just because one out every 3 (example statistic) households have 4 apple products makes it look like every household has an apple product does not mean every household has an apple product.

I agree.

But maybe they thought first that Android was more easily hackable and so they thought that ROBLOX may also become hacked through Android?

I dunno, just thought that might be the case.

But yeah, it would be so awesome if it came out on Android. Then, people with Android Pc's could also get ROBLOX (Yes, but this is very rare though).

Once again, your points have nothing to do with what im saying.
Its about market share, apple pretty much own tge market for tablets and phones as they offer the top services. Thats why....

I have a chromebook and there is a way to get android games on chromebooks so that would be nice. Chromebooks aren't as rare as Android PCs too.

@Explosive

You aren't listening explosive. I am making a point that just because it is on top doesn't mean there can't be androids to fill up all the spaces where apple can't fill. If a house owns as many products as americans would you say everyone in america has an apple product even if everyone else doesn't?
