Oh, absolutely. That’s pretty much the reason why devs often prioritize iOS releases over Android versions, due to them being able to make way more money from iOS users (and, by extension, Apple being able to make way more money from an equivalent app on iOS app store, compared to its Google Play Store versions, since the app store revenue they make is a cut from the revenue the app devs make).
My point wasn’t that taking all Android phones (not just Pixel ones) into the account would make the comparison a bit more representative of reality, even if it still keeps the gap in money made from sales of phones extremely wide.
- scarface_74 3y agoLet me be clearer - my previous statement was kind of word salad. Google probably makes less than the $20B on Android than the same $20B that they pay Apple.
- filoleg 3y agoI really appreciate the clarification. That distilled claim is the one I can honestly believe to be true, though I don’t have the actual numbers to back it up.
