> Android users tend to be much more frugal
Or maybe they are not as rich, since Apple is essentially a filter for "people who are willing to spend 700+ for a phone". Or they have more choices with better free/cheaper applications. Or they are able to pirate.
- judge2020 4y agoI don't see how those two things are mutually exclusive. But yes, it is a filter, which is why business tend to start out on iOS for early revenue numbers, and only port to Android a year later at the earliest. If you start out on Android, you'll inherently have lower revenue numbers, and spending time on your Android app is basically burning money when you're still in your Angel/Series A phases.
- midoridensha 4y agoBeing rich doesn't necessarily mean being stupid with your money; lots of rich people are infamously cheap in fact (the character of Ebeneezer Scrooge wasn't completely made-up after all). Apple phones are very high-priced in terms of features/$ compared to the highest-end Android phones, and many Android phones are in the same price territory (such as the Galaxy series). In the US, though, there's definitely a perception that Apple is for richer people and Android is for cheapskates.
