If you are getting a quick, small loan in Mexico, you probably don't have an iPhone because they cost multiple times as much as an Android one. So, it's not worth it to make these apps for iPhone users because that demographic is totally the opposite of what you want.

I dont know why you are being downvoted. I know what You wrote is fact. I worked building the systems of such an online lending company in Mexico, and I had to fire my only iOS developer because we saw we dint have enough demand in those devices.

Shootout to Jesus, the iOS developer & DJ. He was such a great guy to work for, and really killed me to let him go. He is a great guy :)

People don't know the demographic that consumes those apps in Mexico.

It's true, people who go for these apps earn at most 300 usd per month an some of them with family.
