If you are a developer, still which one is more appealing?

iOS ARKit requirements - any phone that runs iOS 11.

Android Tango requirements -

a) the latest Android OS -- judging by history a year out it will only get around 10% penetration (https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html)

b) a high end Android device - with the average selling price of an Android phone hovering around $220 (http://fortune.com/2016/02/15/apple-android-asps/), there aren't that many high end Android phones being sold.

To be fair, requirement (b) implies (a)... Except when it doesn't. Yay, Android ecosystem.
