It's been stated in numerous articles over the years. I don't have any source offhand, though a quick DDG search gives me a story from 2012: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/03/29/iphone-4x-revenue-android-phones/ http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/03/29/iphone-4x-revenue-an...

  > It's been stated in numerous articles over the years Then it will be easy to find any source that it is not the same old "Google makes 4 times more from iOS than from Android" that was debunked years ago for using assumptions about a royalty figure in the Oracle vs. Google trial and nothing real

    Here's an article from last year claiming that Google made 75% of its mobile search revenue from iOS: http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/05/27/apples-ios-drives-75-of-googles-mobile-advertising-revenue http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/05/27/apples-ios-drives-...

      As I said, when you can find that "report" we can start to discuss about the figures. Until then, it has the same validity as using a random function in a computer to guess those numbers

        That's completely ridiculous. Even if the exact figures in the articles are wrong, it's still generally accepted that Google makes a significant amount of its mobile revenue off of iOS. Demanding that I unearth some vague "report" to give you specific figures is completely meaningless. Doubly-so since it doesn't even matter what the numbers are, because the whole point was that Android users switching to iOS are still extremely likely to be using Google products, which means Google's still making money off of them.

        I made a general claim based on a widely-held belief in support of the notion that Google doesn't care if people switch away from Android because Google still makes money off of those people regardless of which platform they choose, as they'll still be using Google products. Please stop trying to nitpick about specific irrelevant details such as how accurate the numbers are that have been reported in various articles.
