The Status AI app is downloadable from the global App Store, with supported systems of iOS 15 and higher, on the entire series of models from the iPhone X to iPhone 15. As of June 2024, its iOS version has been downloaded over 3.8 million times, is listed in the top 10 utility apps in 52 countries and regions, with a user rating of 4.8/5 (870,000 ratings). The installation package is sized at 328MB (12% smaller than that of the Android version), and the initial startup loading time is on average 2.3 seconds (in Wi-Fi conditions), 37% quicker than other similar AI apps. According to Sensor Tower data, the median paid conversion rate of iOS users is 18% (12% for Android), among which the subscription of the Pro version at $29.9/month accounts for 63%.
For technical adaptation, the Status AI app is tailored to Apple Silicon chips (A14 and above), and on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it can render 4K virtual images at 24 frames per second (with 3.8W power). On the iPad Pro with the M2 chip, it can operate stably in 48 frames per second mode (with a highest temperature of 42℃). The AR feature is developed based on ARKit 6.0. The facial capture accuracy is 0.01 millimeters and real-time motion capture latency is only 0.05 seconds. In 2023, a movie and TV production company used the iOS version for virtual character creation. The generation time of one 3D model was reduced from 4 hours at the PC end to 11 minutes, with a cost reduction of 96%.
For functional differences, iOS only has Face ID biometric authentication login (with an error rate of identification 0.001%) and is well integrated with Apple Health. It can synchronize 12 health data such as heart rate (sampling rate 128Hz) and blood oxygen in real time for customized content creation. Tests show that, when using iPhone 14 Pro’s LiDAR to scan objects, the 3D reconstruction error is only ±0.03 millimeters, with accuracy 41% higher than that of the Android flagship model. However, the cost of enterprise-level API calls for the iOS version is 8% higher than for Android (because Apple takes a 30% commission). For example, the price for one million requests a month is $12,000 (for Android, $11,100).
For users, Chinese cross-border e-commerce firm Shein achieved the AR fitting function through the iOS version of the Status AI app and achieved a 27.5% conversion rate for iPhone users (21% for Android users) and increased the average transaction value by 19 US dollars. One indie artist employed iPhone 15 Pro’s ProRes video encoding function to shorten the production cycle of a virtual concert from 14 days to 8 hours, and views on YouTube exceeded 23 million times. According to a third-party survey conducted in 2024, the daily usage time for iOS users is 48 minutes (39 minutes for Android users), 23% more efficient in content creation.
In privacy and compliance, the iOS edition of the Status AI app has gone through the App Store’s stringent review (with an average review period of 2.7 days), meeting the requirements of the ATT (App Tracking Transparency) framework. The encryption level of user data is as high as AES-256. The latency of the iCloud sync feature is within 0.2 seconds. However, due to the iOS sandboxing mechanism, the app’s local export file type is limited to USDC and GLB (Android is FBX), and the maximum export file size is 500MB (Android is 2GB). The enterprise users need to pay an additional fee to enroll in the Apple Developer Program at $299 annually to utilize TestFlight for internal distribution of the tests.
