It looks like you're including preservation requests in the Google number; Apple doesn't report these. If you only look at requests for user information, the numbers are 10,197 for Apple and 26,186 for Google. Interestingly, the rate at which both end up turning over data is nearly identical (85% for Apple and 83% for Google). --- EDIT: nostromo points out that Apple does report the preservation request numbers in a separate section on the detail page. So inclusive of preservation requests, the comparison would be 12,719 for Apple and 38,042 for Google. However, I think Apple is right in not including these in the main number since preservation requests are asking the companies to preserve data that they might otherwise delete in anticipation of a future data request -- which would be counted.
