Comment on Android’s Dirty Secret: Shipping Numbers Are Strong But Returns Are 30-40%Comments−glimcat15yI've seen this bouncing around for a while now. Numerous times.I've yet to see it substantiated beyond "sources claim" and I tend to want data any time someone wants to claim numbers which seem unusually high.Real issue? Attention-whoring bloggers? Impossible to tell without better data.−enjo15yExactly this. Some guy said a thing doesn't count as journalism.−wisty15yYeah, 40% sounds obscene. "I bought a/an Android" totals over 150k google results, but "I returned my Android" gets under 8k.This is * extremely* rough (as google's count for results can be utter BS), but it looks more like 5% than 40%. Not good, but nothing like 40%.
