None of this account for differences in purchasing power and phone price.
If you have an $150 Android device, I would of course expect you to spend way less on software than somebody with a $1500 iPhone.
I'm not saying 'develop for Android only' but if your business relies on one ecosystem only, you're at a higher risk and you're leaving money on the table.
How do you pronounce these? An 'undred and fifty? I'm honestly curious, because I can't feel like an fits on either. I wasn't going to care enough to ask but then you put a on one thousand five hundred.
"a fifteen hundred" maybe
My issue was more with 150, I don't know how to pronounce it with an instead of a. I pronounce it "a one" or "a hundred"
You are 100% right.
If you dev for only one you will be leaving money on the table. But for small / solo devs I can 100% see why focusing on iOS and those high paying customers makes sense if all you care about is money.
Then once you have a customer base then you build out an android team/app.
I’m not saying it should be this way. I’m just saying I understand why it is this way.
