App Annie 2015: Google Play saw 100% more downloads than the iOS App Store, but Apple generated 75% more revenue

In 2015, Google Play saw 100 percent more downloads than Apple’s App Store. Double the number of downloads is a huge achievement. In 2014, the figure was 60 percent, meaning Google Play was not only bigger in 2015, it grew even faster than Apple’s App Store.

These latest estimates come from App Annie’s retrospective report for 2015. As always, the firm had a lot of fascinating numbers to share, but the big ones were all centered on comparing and contrasting the two biggest app stores on a global scale.
