Apple leads in all usage categories. For example, online shopping where iOS accounts for 5X the revenues as Android. Why? Because people with $50 phones don’t do anything with those devices. Don’t spend money on Apps, content, subscriptions, shopping and so on. The App Store has half the downloads of Google Play yet twice the revenues. Making each iOS use 4X as valuable as the average Android user.
Market share is pointless if those users aren't spending money.
You miss the point. I was specifically talking about payments.
That plumber who came to fix your tap? Doesn't buy many apps but he's the guy you need to pay. Apple needs market share to get Apple Pay working. Otherwise, Apple Pay is useless to YOU.
