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?

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...
