Google didn’t “succeed” in mobile financially. Android historical doesn’t bring that much of a profit in mobile compared to its popularity (that came out in the Oracle trial) and has to pay Apple close to $20 billion a year to be the default search engine on iOS devices.
Google Play Services is not that much of a money maker and it sells about as many phones in a year as Apple sells in a couple of weeks
- twelve40 4y agoyeah but imagine if they didn't support Android, they would have been at complete mercy of apple! but currently Apple can't touch 70% of the phones, and it's an enormous financial incentive.
- scarface74 4y agoI’m not saying that it wasn’t a decent defensive move. But the 70% of people who are buying Androids aren’t statistically the most desirable customers with the highest income and Google is completely absent in mobile in the worlds largest market - China.
