Figures out today from Canalys note that in Q1 2013, the four top app stores worldwide collectively accounted for 13.4 billion downloads, with $2.2 billion in paid app sales, in-app purchases and subscriptions. But while Google has long passed Apple as the biggest smartphone platform worldwide, Apple is still killing it when it comes to monetizing: Google Play accounted for 51% of all downloads (6.8 billion), but Apple's App Store for 74% of all revenues ($1.6 billion).
