The analyses

The Standards War · Decision Forks
Android Won the Phones. Apple Won the Money. Both Were on Purpose.
Android runs on roughly 72% of the world's phones and iOS on 28%. Yet iOS earns about 2.2x the app-store spend of Android, and the engine that monetizes that locked-in base — Apple Services — clears a 73.9% gross margin against 37.2% for the hardware.
