Apple App Store has twice the Google Play revenue, half the downloads

Even if Apple's App Store wasn't available in China, it would have still beaten Google Play by 30%.

Yea bcs ppl really loves pirating apps.
I moved from WP to iOS to Android. I paid all paid apps in the store. Seriously ppl, stop pirating. Devs are really trying hard to make those apps.

    1 reason why dev apps its dev-ing faster on iOS instead Android. But still I prefer Android OS.

      Because in the App store you have to pay and in the play store everything is free and yet most of the people like free
      And please don't say Apple does protected apps more than the android because i ain't buying that cr...appp
      All of the stores of the stores are susceptible to have flaws and good

        There is no option to pay with a debit card in many countries like India where credit card ownership has historically been minuscule. There is also no option to buy a gift card in retail outlets as there is in America. If both these app stores were to add to such facilities, they could increase their revenues considerably.

                Not surprised by this it's so easy to get cracked andrpid apps doesn't require a phone to be modified to work or anything.

                  Stop crying boys. Apples store it's not just based on iphones. They actually make money with all their devices and the same store. That being said. They also make money out of wallpaper, ringtones!(even tough i never met an iphone user that actually had a ringtone OTHER then all the rest of them, must be complicated to have a personality in apple world) and whatever worthless other things they have there. Like bitten apple watch, bitten apple pods bitten apple adapters that cost more then 30 cables of the same quality somewhere else and so and so on. Apple is as much as people friendly as their always-no-signal future phones.

                    FullmetalJun, 17 Jul 2018Add to that: The irony of Google being the best universal S... moreexactly it sucks..loaded with crap apps.
                    No way to sort search results.
                    Duplicate false apps.
                    Duplicate named apps. For instance games. I played a mahjong game in 2011 that I cannot find anymore and I'm still looking for it. I've downloaded all mahjong games on play store and none of them are it.
                    Even if searching exactly for the title it wont come up..this happens a lot lately.
                    Play store bans devs for publishing apps that google dont like!
                    Variable app versions depending of your phone id, ie..phone, architecture, model, os version..this complicate the process to find the right app.
                    App shows not compatible. Well if I find the apk file and install it the app works fine!!!

                    All this has me the last years rather go to apkmirror.com and mobilism. I avoid play store as much as possible.

                      to be rich you have to be Apple, and to have an Eyefone you have to be rich, and to show off, you have to have an Eyefone..... what a stupid life style.... Android is the best platform ever created!

                          Twice the revenue yes because apple users have to pay for almost everything even the apps noone has interests in thats correct.
                          Offering crap asking money.
                          Where people usig android and google play have almost everything free of charge and android store offers much more apps than apple shop will ever have.
                          Like in real more than 90% global population using smartphones uses android and only like 5% have crapple.
                          Rest of the 5% is going 3% to windows phone users and other OS which are so little that only like 2% of people uses them.

                            Add to that: The irony of Google being the best universal Search engine, but the Play Store search is so bad & lacks refine search.
