Apple looks silly, the original Android profit margin is as high as 70%

If you think Apple's profit margin is high, it's because you still don't know Google. According to data released by Oracle lawyers, Google's Android operating system has generated $31 billion in revenue, and its profit margin is as high as 70%.

The exposure of this data stems from a lawsuit between Oracle and Google. Oracle accused Google of using its Java software to develop the Android system, but did not pay the corresponding fees. On January 14, Oracle lawyers disclosed analytical data on Google's confidential financial information in court. Google said in court documents that the information disclosed by Oracle lawyers came from its internal confidential financial documents.

Oracle lawyer Annette Hearst revealed that Android generated revenues of $31 billion, and profits reached $22 billion. "From these data, Google Android is very large in commercialization." This is just the "tip of the iceberg" of the Alphebat kingdom.

According to people familiar with the matter, the above data is based on a set of methods that Oracle has not outlined.

In response, Google strongly opposes that these figures should not be made public. "In addition to the general business, Google has never publicly disclosed the separate revenues and profits of the Android business. These non-public financial data are highly sensitive and public disclosure may be Google. The business has a serious negative impact."

Google believes that Oracle lawyers have mistakenly disclosed "highly sensitive information" in documents that "only lawyers can view." The company hopes that San Francisco federal judges can edit and seal the "public text" at last week's hearing.

The Android system was released in 2008 and generated revenue for Google in two ways: Google’s ads on Android phones and Google’s revenue from mobile app store GooglePlay.
