edit: I should also mention, with Android, you get access to some pretty sweet google resources such as their speech to text translation.

lies?
the main programming language for the iPhone/IPad is obective-c, which is based on C, but a whole different language
of course you can build parts of the app in C or C++ (which you can on android too), or probably whole apps - depending on what you develop,
but afaik you need atleast to understand objective-c to use some frameworks and libraries.

so yes, you have to pretty much learn a language that is only used for Apple products

(atleast if you want to become an employed developer)
