Doesn’t most mobile app revenue come from iOS? That’s not an accident, and a lot of it arguably has to do with the walled garden.

Doesn’t most mobile app revenue come from iOS? That’s not an accident, and a lot of it arguably has to do with the walled garden.
- scarface74 6y agoOr could it be that people who both have and are willing to spend money buy Apple devices?
- oivey 6y agoSure, that’s probably the most major reason. Having an app store that requires apps to meet certain quality standards, respect privacy, and not contain malware is part of why people are willing to pay a premium for iPhones. It goes without saying there are other factors, too, like the high quality hardware and integration with cool accessories. Again, it’s not an accident that iOS apps are more profitable than Android apps. Apple’s overall ecosystem is designed to attract people who are willing to pay for good products.
- scarface74 6y agoYes and many on HN want Apple to be “broken up” so the iOS ecosystem is just as bad as Androids....
