People bitch and moan about Apple's closed ecosystem but from a developer standpoint, why wouldn't you love it? The vast majority of your users are under 2-3 different hardware specs, 75-90% of them run the same OS, and users spend four times as much money on the platform as competitors' users. That's a developer's wet dream." Uh, isn't the iOS install base much, much higher than Android? It makes sense that the money spend is also much higher... |
It was gauging revenue "per user". And the Android marketshare is higher. Dunno about installed base but I'm sure that's quite a bit higher as well.
But the userbase is not four times larger, which would be the break-even point between the two user bases.
