some apps are more expensive on ios than its android counterpart, but there is a reason for that. developers know that ios users do spend more on apps and games so they actually refine more, and in some cases include more features in the ios version of the app. i use android smartphones and ipads for semi-productivity tasks.

      It obviously there is much more willing purchases in the Apple's App Store versus android counterparts. First look at how it is setup, how secure it is and last and most important how much trust & expectation in will generate from the clientele. By the way Huawei has major trust issues, and is pretty much ignored by the west, can't blame them they are right!

          Riptide, 21 Jun 2019I fully agree! But, then again, we are talking about apple... moreThe monitor is actually really well priced for what you're getting. The stand, however, is the dumbest thing that they honestly could've done

              Also, they either embrace piracy (illegally downloaded music, movies, games) and/or prefer to allow random companies to track and monitor them (ads business) and install various adware and malware apps.

              It's the same people who would tell you that McDonald's food is better than reputable restaurants' food because it's cheaper and easier to get. lol

                        The research is 'kind of' flaw
                        Android user is not downloading apps from 1 source (google play)
                        but can also download from other store such as amazon or aptoid or any other source.

                        the research doesn't really show that android developer earning less

                                Weren't iOS developers and users complaining how Apple's cut is too big? Something doesn't add up if iOS devs are also earning more as it is lol

                                        Maybe it's a cycle. Apple users spend more, developers put more focus on iOS apps, this people are willing to spend more on a better quality app. Maybe it's the opposite for Android.
