Great deep dive by Horace Dediu into the Android revenue numbers (which we may or may not know for certain).

If this is true, it’s fascinating on a number of levels:

This shows a positive trend for Google: revenues per smartphone per year is increasing. However, the growth is coming from non-Android devices which means mostly iOS. Revenues per device for Android is probably declining.

And this is potentially pretty funny in light of the “no way it’s 4x” arguments:

Charles Arthur concluded that Google obtains four times more revenue from iOS than from Android. My estimates indicate that in 2011 the revenue ratio was closer to 5 but if we subtract the cost of those sales in the form of payments to Apple then the ratio could well be four to one.

Closer to 5.
