Is this why (as I understand it) Google has historically launched new apps/features on iOS first? I know firsthand that this is true for Google Voice (including before, during, and after the lengthy detour to Hangouts).
- RestlessMind 4y agoAds get higher CPCs / CVVs on iPhone. Much higher compared to Android, when everything else is the same (country, gender, etc). If I were to pick one reason for iOS-first strategy, that would be it.
- nr2x 4y agoAFAIK it’s totally separate teams. Internally it’s well known that most Google apps work better on iPhone than Pixel. I don’t think it’s intentional, it’s just harder to provide a consistent bug-free experience on Android, even for Google’s own flagship device.
