Apple has literally said, under oath, that they do not track App Store profitability (as, I assume, a separate entity from their much larger "Services" slush fund). [1] Well, we can argue until we go blue about how maybe he's lying, or twisting words, or how the App Store alone represents a business larger than many Fortune 500 companies and its irresponsible/incompetent of them to not track it. Reality is probably a little of all of the above. But it speaks to how insane these conversations are; magical incantations of deductions and inferences to arrive at seemingly significant percentages and magnitudes which have no basis in reality. Here's a statement I'll agree with: "An application distributed on iOS is likely to return higher per-install revenue than the same application distributed on Android." But if you read that, and believe for a second that it should inform some broader policy or even application development decision making, then we're on completely different pages.
