Here's a chart that should worry Android fans.

It's easy to think that it's the lack of developer interest that makes of break an ecosystem - that certainly seems to be the case with Windows Mobile - but when it comes to Android, it's profits.
There are several takeaways from that one chart:
2016 looks like it's going to be a tough year for Samsung, which in turn could mean a tough year for Android. Outside of Google's Nexus line, Samsung is essentially the main player when it comes to premium devices, and any weakness there could allow Apple to pick up more Android defectors.
This should also be a worry for app developers who already perceive Android users are far more miserly (and far quicker to resort to piracy) than iOS users . And since owners of premium Android handsets have always been seen as better customers, an erosion of the premium Android handset market will hit developers squarely in the pocket.
