iOS devs make 50% more than Android devs, and the average iOS user spends about 10x more than the average Android user does on Apps.

  It's strange how that works out. I use both Android and iOS and I've easily spent 10x as much on iOS apps as Android apps.

    Why didn't you spend that much on android apps? Lack of good apps that you would pay for or enough free apps?

      I have done the same, here are some the reasons. 1. Better targeting by app companies when I am on iOS device. 2. Trust in the Apple app eco system 3. Most top apps are paid, so it makes it more acceptable to pay

        That's why Apple is so afraid of sideloading. Because it threatens their business model.

          And their developers business model, and their high customer satisfaction levels.

      Unless it's for something fairly trivial, I generally don't use free apps. When I do buy an app and have a choice I generally will go with the iOS version. I haven't given it a lot of thought, but I suppose it comes down to a couple of reasons. 1. I have never really trusted Android. Probably because it's made by an advertising company and as time goes by, the ad supported business model is starting to feel more and more unhealthy to me. 2. Android apps are rarely as polished as similar iOS apps. Even for relatively basic things like layout or color scheme, iOS apps seem to have more care put into them.
