Who pirates iPad and iPhone games? Approximately nobody.
Piracy claims are often inflated through the intended operations of the Android and iOS app stores -- with my single iOS purchase I can have it on my iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone. A single Google Play purchase might be on my two Nexus 7s, and then n variants of phone that I've bought over the years. I've heard complainants in such cases compare installs to purchases, using that as the foundation for their piracy claims, when I alone might have installed the app I legitimately purchased 20 times over new and varied devices, and not one of those installs was piracy.
Remember when Dead Trigger did the whole bullshit "piracy is so bad on Android we're going free to play". They then quietly did the same thing on iOS, hilariously justifying their change as some sort of reward for iOS users, instead of the reality that IAP is far more lucrative than upfront purchases.
However supposedly iOS piracy is overwhelming in China.
