I think he's wrong on this one. I honestly feel apple is loosing outside of the US and that's going to be more and more important for the app developer community to go android first.

Apple is still capturing most of the revenue from mobile app stores because Apple users tend to spend a lot more than Android users:

And this is despite, like you said, the install base of Android being much larger.

No Apple is not capturing most of the revenue from App Store. Their services revenue which is App Store + iCloud + Apple Music is their second biggest revenue stream I think after iPhone. But it still dwarfs in front of iPhone. Though services revenue is growing a lot faster.

You didn't even read what I said or the link I posted. I'm comparing Apple to Android and their respective app store revenues, which is what the original comment was about. I never said Apple received most of their revenue from the app store.
