> Android has reached a level of maturity that makes comparison with Apple ecosystem neglectable nowadays; simply its no longer a selling point compared to previous years.

This spirit of this comment has been replicated verbatim every year for the last 5 years by some random HN commenter.

I guess, eventually, it might be true.

Rather than dismiss the comment outright, could you elaborate on what part of it is untrue?

UI jank, or lack thereof on iOS.

Security, or lack thereof on Android.

Relative size of app ecosystems.

Whether devs can make money selling apps (hint: it's much harder on Android).

Fragmentation.

Etc.

saying android is much harder is not factually correct, it varies greatly by the niche of the app/game. some do much better on android then ios store.

It is factually correct, just because there might be some niche apps that perform better on Android does not negate the fact that, overall, the App Store generates far more revenue than the Play Store.

How do you replicate the _spirit_ of something verbatim?
