The present invention discloses a method for selecting mobile device models for application development based on user operational profiles. The method includes: 1) selecting a target application for predicting importance of the device models; 2) the user data of the target application does not meet a preset condition, proceeding to step 3); if the preset condition is met, determining importance of mobile device models for the target application according to operational profile record for the target application, and ranking the device models according to the importance, then proceeding to step 5); 3) selecting a set of applications associated with the largest number of users in an application category to which the target application belongs; 4) determining importance of the device models using the target application according to the user operational profile of the set of applications selected in step 3), and ranking each device model according to the associated importance; and 5) selecting a plurality of device models to be used for the target application according to the priority ranking. The present invention greatly improves accuracies of device predictions.
