App Annie, the research firm, is predicting Apple will lose its first place position over Android, based on revenue from mobile apps during 2017.
According to a press release highlighting new research, for 2017 consumer spend in Android stores will surpass the App Store, driven by increasing global app installs in Google Play and in third-party Android stores. The research firm did note that over the next five years, Apple’s customer base, which is affluent, will continue to spend more revenue per device than Android customers.
