Jailbroken phones generally have many hundreds of pirated apps. Doesn’t mean they use many of them for more than a few seconds.

Not 4, but 3 Million iPhones, leading to an average 510(!) pirated applications on each of those.

Moderator, feel free to correct my previous post and delete this one.

7.5 Million Jailbroken iPhones, 40% of those use pirated software = a total of 4 Million iPhones with at least some pirated Apps installed on them.

510 Million paid applications and a piracy rate of 75% = 1530 Million pirated Apps, as stated in the article.

That means, there should be an average 382(!) pirated applications on each of these iPhones. I don’t think that is plausible. The numbers don’t work out, they miss even the biggest possible ballpark.

In my opinion it is the piracy rate figure of 75%, that seeems way off. Even if that is the correct rate for some popular game titles, even if it would be the average rate for games in general – it surely cannot be extended to be the average piracy rate over all types of paid applications.

The authors of the article should revise their results.
