According to Business Insider, Apple iPhone owners are downloading nearly twice as many paid mobile applications as Google Android users.
Some reasons why users might download more iTunes paid apps could be:
- iTunes has an easy purchasing system.
- Popular paid apps are easily highlighted.
- The iPhone is positioned as a premium phone so your users are more likely to be the type of user who buys paid apps.
Are there other reason you think people might be more willing to purchase paid apps from iPhone over Android?

Please excuse us if we are not responsive today.
We have been awaiting the iPhone 4 arrival for a long time. Some of us were smart (or is it lucky?) and pre-ordered the iPhone 4 to be delivered lovingly to our doorstep. Others of us will be waiting in line first thing Thursday morning. Nonetheless, all of us soon-to-be iPhone 4 owners have awaited this day for a while. Whether we are anxiously waiting in line or already experimenting with your new feature set, you can rest assured that 100% of our attention will be focused on the iPhone 4 today. (If you are a current client, we promise that we’re actually working very hard on your app!)
We can now enjoy our favorite Apple apps in a new and different way:
- Multitasking: Listen to NPR Music in the background as we play Doodle Bomb.
- Thinner Frame: And, of course, buying all the accessories to accompany the new design.
- Gift Apps: Sending mom the Gas Buddy app so she can find the cheapest gas nearest her GPS location.
- Video Calling: Using FaceTime to tell our friends and family about the new (soon to be announced) Bottle Rocket apps.
- Extended Battery Life: Spending more time with the Disney® Craft Finder without having to hook up for more juice.
How will you be spending quality time with your new iPhone 4?
