While Android devices outsell Apple
devices, Apple’s iTunes store sales far outpace Google Play revenue. Reported estimates from industry sources indicate that Apple’s iTunes store recognized ~56 percent of the total of total profi t in the mobile device market. This is why more software developers support the iOS platform. Aviation users are more used to paying
