Are Universal apps still the way to go?

Hi,

I’d like to build an app that works for both iPhone and iPad. I’m wondering as of 2016, is Universal app still the recommended way to build an app that works on both platform, or it’s better to build independent apps, since with the iPad pro, it there is now a bigger difference between iPhones and iPads?

Thanks,

Well from a technical side yeah. But from a business side I see many companies develop apps for separate devices and charge separately for each based on the number of features implemented.
