๐ฑ For App Makers: Apple's App Store vs Google Play
Despite the fact that the installed base of #Android devices is significantly larger than it is for #iOS devices, app publishers still seem to find larger earnings potential on #Appleโs #AppStore compared to #GooglePlay.
According to Sensor Towerโs estimates, the top 100 iOS app publishers made $84 million on average in Q1 2019, compared to $51 million for the most successful Android app makers. The difference between the two platforms is even more pronounced when excluding games publishers. The highest-grossing non-gaming app publishers for iOS outperformed the top 100 on Googleโs Play Store by 232 percent.

๐ฎ Mobile Games in Q3 2020
First-time installs of mobile games climbed nearly 28 percent Y/Y last quarter to 14.2 billion across the #AppStore and #GooglePlay globally.

Conversely, the App Store actually saw game installs decline slightly Y/Y, decreasing 4.2% from 2.4 billion in the previous year to 2.3 billion in 3Q20. This figure reflects a decrease in mobile game installs from Chinaโs App Store; outside of China, first-time game installs were up slightly.
InnerSlothโs #AmongUs was a breakaway hit, reaching No. 1 among the top-downloaded games of 3Q20 with installs that were more than 13 times what it saw in 3Q19.
