There is a lot of discussion going on between close-source OS and open Source OS. A lot of argument is there for choosing open source as it is the fastest way to grow quickly. But I am sure that this advantage with open source OS could be labeled with disadvantage too. And the advantage offered with close-source OS cannot be neglected. So in this article let us try to clear the doubt about the advantages offered by closed source operating system like iOS.

We all know about close-source OS like iOS but let me quickly take you to flash back. A close source OS is the OS that is the intellectual property of an individual means all the right is with the owner like iOS owned by Apple. Apple owns every right of iOS; it is only manufactured and sold by Apple. This is what a close source meant for and no one has the right to modify the code for any personnel use. The biggest downside with it is you have to accept all the OS as it is.

Let us list up the advantages offered by closed source:

One of the major advantages of having a close source OS is it adds up security. iOS is considered as the safest and securest ...
... environment then open source OS like Android because the source of its is closed.

Main advantage with iOS is that you can embed your intellectual property in it and it will help in minimizing the risk of competition.

If you have developed app, which is truly different from the others, i.e. your idea/concept is different from all other competitors and have developed that application in open source, it makes easy for your competitor to knock you off. Choosing close-source will help you in securing your top position for long time and competitors will struggle to knock you off. It is because your code is not available on an open source OS.

Any development of application for a close source OS like iOS will make sure that your application is well protected from reverse engineering.

Monetary advantage with close-source OS also remains as a plus point for choosing closed source environment. It is because if you’re mobile application or any app worth it then users are ready to pay for the app. But if you are planning for an open source Mobile application development, then I don’t find easy way to generate revenue.

With an application development targeted on close-source OS like iOS, others can’t use your code for their own purpose.

Compatibility is another added advantage with closed source application development. It offers guaranteed compatibility over the devices. While same case is opposite with open source environment like Android.

These are some of the advantages offered by the close source OS like iOS. In iOS environment still iPhone application earns more than Android applications which posses open source environment.
