Also worth noting that the pixel 3, the phone with the highest drops, had extremely deep discounts associated with Google Fi. At one point you could get one for free. That surely affected the prices on the used market. Of course, the fact that Android phones age less well is probably a factor too.

There's also the factor that Google subsidizes Android phones because they profit from you using the phone to view ads (and buy apps). Apple of court profits from you buying apps. Apple users buy more apps. Not sure which users view/click more ads.

  Why is Android subsedize but iOS boy? When is the last time someone paid for iOS or an update to it? The play store functions to make money for Google exactly the same way the app store does for Apple. Apple makes more money from their app store (about twice as much it seems[1]), but it's not correct to imply Apple makes money from their app store but Google doesn't. 1; https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/10/11/as-usual-apples-app-store-revenue-leads-google-pla.aspx https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/10/11/as-usual-apples-ap...
