- prepend 7y agoDo you think it was a random factor that had it debut on iOS. Despite far fewer devices, the Apple App Store has always made more revenue than Android. The most recent real numbers [0] I could find show this is a big difference. I always assumed that’s why app devs roll out on iOS first.

- leppr 7y agoI didn't contest the overall conclusion, but as engineers and entrepreneurs we normally have a propensity to disregard binary thinking. The numbers in your link are useful to predict expected revenue from an iOS vs an Android exclusive. The 73/17 ratio from the parent post is not, but could be misleading to someone who didn't know the app's release schedule.
