App Store Piracy - Is it bad? |
Listed in: Apple iPhone 3GS Tags: 3gs, apple, ios, news
Pinch Media recently shared some data that they presented at the 360iDev conference regarding the state of piracy in the App Store and the results are definitely interesting, if not somewhat surprising. Pinch Media decided to start tracking jailbreak users in response to developers seeing unusual spikes in their userbase, spikes that didn’t mesh with what iTunes Connect was reporting for new downloads.
As it turns out, those spikes were from pirated apps on jailbroken devices. According to Pinch Media’s analytics, about 38 percent of jailbreak users run pirated apps. Their data consists of about 4 million jailbroken devices, which means about one and a half million of those devices have a pirated app on them. Piracy is obviously a global phenomenon, but apparently it’s worse in some countries than in others. Their results indicate that piracy is much more rampant in countries like China, Russia, Brazil, and Mexico, with the U.S., Great Britain, and Japan having the lowest rates. This indicates that piracy is negatively correlated with per capita national GDP. Out of all of the apps using Pinch Media’s analytics, over 60 percent have been pirated. According to Pinch Media, this estimate is actually low considering pirates will occasionally disable their tracking. And when an app is pirated, about 34 percent of all installs are cracked.
