That's a bold statement.

I hate developing for iPhone, but I don't have a choice because 85% of the users of our B2B app are on iOS.

Have you tried using a web app? A well made PWA app can work well, and most iPhone users don't care about memory or lag.

I mean, you could outsource the mobile app building.

My company does basically our entire B2B stack and infrastructure in-house except for the mobile apps.

That just indicates you don’t really care about your customers mobile experience and they will notice eventually.

Maybe, but we pay notably more to outsource than we were previously paying for in-house dev; it works better at our scale - our client apps probably merit like 1 FTE developer, and it's easier to get appropriate expertise for mobile app development from a third party that specializes in that rather than trying to maintain it in-house, or by spreading the pain of Apple provisioning profiles and app store review, etc. among a team of non-mobile devs.
