Uh, what? Of course the iPhone is more profitable than Android, and I have already said so in this discussion. If you think that a product needs to reach iPhone numbers to count as successful, I really don't know what to say.
But I note that you are indeed incapable of naming a single Amazon product that was as successful as Android, while still maintaining that Android was somehow a commercial disappointment, while Amazon is a success story. You really don't see the disconnect?
6 years in the life of Windows , there was nowhere near the number of PCs being sold every year as Android devices.
But I can guarantee you that even from the day that Microsoft license the first version of DOS to IBM that it made more per license sold than Google makes from each Android sold.
> Again: what product that successful has Amazon ever launched?
I see that you refuse to compare Android to its most realistic counterpart - Apple.
The iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and even the Apple Watch (Cook said that Apple Watch revenues exceeded iPod revenue a couple of years ago) were all more successful in the first 6 years.
The entire point is that Google hasn’t been able to diversify at all *profitably”.
