Android Apps Not as Profitable as iPhone Apps
- foxhill 15y agoi can't say i'm surprised. my experience with apple customers is that they more freely spend money (or perhaps i've got the causation the wrong way around? ;)), so it's no shock to hear they're more likely to make small purchases like 99c apps and such. also, most people are familiar with the itunes store, the app store practically follows the same steps as it does. honestly though, i have no idea how buying apps on android works, but given that a lot of people already have the means to buy music from the itunes store, the level of effort required to make a purchase, i'm going to bet, is less than that of android.
- drcube 15y agoThis is bad news for Apple. Just like Ford was bad news for all those expensive horseless carriage manufacturers.
- GoldenMonkey 15y agono, this is bad news for android micro-isv's.. 80% of paid android apps downloaded 100x's to date? Yeah, that's going to pay the bills:( And what superior technology makes android vs iphone a car vs horse?
- drcube 15y agoHorseLESS carriages! Ford brought cheap, useful cars to the masses rather than following his competitors in marketing automobiles as an expensive, trendy lifestyle choice for rich people.
