Google Play’s download dominance over Apple grew in 2014

Google’s Android market may not make as much money as iOS, but its download numbers are increasing faster than Apple’s.

In 2014, Google Play had 60-percent more downloads worldwide than the iOS App Store, according to data-tracking App Annie’s latest report. Android more than doubled its lead over Apple’s mobile operating system. This is primarily due to the wide range of Android devices that appeal to every budget in markets around the world. While this is good news for Google, the growing lead in terms of downloads did not help it close the revenues gaps.
