Of course they are related. Why does the iPhone have this specific demographic, if not for the platform?
- thisisit 9y agoI don't think it is related to platform but segmentation. The segment being premium phone users. If there was a way to segment Android Flagship users the results will be similar. Apple and iPhone users makes this segmentation much easier.

Google screwed the pooch by not having paid apps on huge parts of the world for years. People got so used to side-loading their apps that getting them to pay is an ordeal.
