> Furthermore, over the years the percentage of paid apps on the App Store has decreased. What this means is that the opposite of what you claim is true: iOS users have been trained to prefer free things. I'm not so sure that it is as clear-cut as you describe. Over the same time period, the total number of free and paid apps on the App Store has increased. To arrive at a reasonable understanding of the effects of free apps, we will need to plot the ratio of paid-to-free apps to see if the ratio has been steadily declining, has stayed roughly the same, or has been increasing, on a year-to-year basis.
