GP is claiming that Apple is doing better in the phone space, because Z>X. But the appropriate comparison is not Z vs. X, but (Z+0) vs. (X+Y).

For high end devices, maybe some of the services could have been considered paid off for before and could have skipped ads. That way, even Google gets 'Z' from phones.
