If I understand correctly, Google Play now has the same number of apps as the iOS app store, but generates only 1/4 of its revenue. Otherwise put, an iOS app will earn, on average, 4x more than its Android equivalent.

This despite the fact that Android represents >70% of the global market.

Seems like a pretty bad argument to develop for Android.
