It's been estimated that Apple makes 70-80% of the profits in the smartphone space. Android/Samsung sell huge volumes of really cheap phones, the users of those phones don't tend to spend money on apps, or content, or anything. Apple only sells premium phones and dominates the premium segment, iOS users still spend more on apps than all of the far more numerous android users combined.
