But seriously - it equates to about 25 apps with a pricepoint of 1.99 which does sound reasonable. Bejeweled, Pggle (GREAT GAME BTW) and Apple Poker alone amount to 15$
And keep in mind that most of these device were sold very recently, so people hardly had any time to spend their $50. If you look through the details of the report, AdMob claims that the average active user spends $10 per month on the AppStore. I find that ridiculous, and it doesn't match with the pretty clear picture that a lot of indie developers, as well as Apple themselves have painted for us when they regularly told us their download figures. But after following last year's string of election polls, I'm guessing that AdMob will stand by these numbers no matter how many people disprove them and it's the kind of story that AI users just love to believe in, so that's all from me in this thread.

Hey, it says those are figures per MONTH ! It would be reasonable for typical lifespan of the device, but I really doubt that every average user buys 25 apps @1.99 month after month.

I spent $15 on apps, so maybe this is reasonable. But $53 is a lot of money.

$2.4b revenue / 45m devices (1) = $53 / per device.

It just seems like a lot of extrapolation is going on either way and that none of these numbers are anything to really rely upon.
You just summed up 'the story of Apple'.
