随笔/0323——安卓商业模式

来自这篇文章：How Google Makes Money from Android: Business Model Explained

核心逻辑是，只要你有足够的装机量，就能在应用层分发、应用层核心基建、搜索流量等进行卡位，赚到钱：

如果没有这些，怎么办？反事实是存在的，作者提到：

Since 2019, some of the conditions are not relevant anymore in the European Union as a result of the EU antitrust case against Google. Phone manufacturers can offer “forked” Android versions without fear that Google would not prolong their licenses for devices that use the Google Play store.

They can also use the Play Store & Play Services without installing Search and Chrome. To do that, however, they need to pay the licensing fee to google that was announced to be somewhere between $10 and $40 depending on screen resolution.** In some countries, licenses for lower-end phones can go as low as $2.50.

也就是说，license的价值是2.5~40美金，10~250人民币的范围，平均也要到100块了 —— 那还真是不低了。

其实应该还有其他收入，包括各种兼容性准入、认证等费用，这篇文章没提到，不展开了。
