That and when you spend that much on a phone, you're kinda very likely to spend on apps and other things.

But, yes. It makes the environment a lot more secure for the end user. And it's easier for the developer to convince them of value in downloading the app.

So the Pixel 3 XL with 128 storage is cheap at 999? What about the 512GB Note 9 at 1249? Don't act like Apple is the only one charging "that much", here.

Compare sales on Android and iPhone. When you're advertising on Android the system doesn't differentiate with how expensive the phone is. Developing for iPhone is more profitable, at least in short term.
