According to Pinch media , there are approximately 4.0 million jailbroken iPhones. About 38%, or around a million and a half of those, have used a pirated application.
This estimate is low – application pirates take steps to avoid detection and these numbers only apply for pirated apps containing Pinch Media’s analytics software.
Piracy is a global phenomenon,the ratio of piracy to total installs of the app is at just 5% in the US, but approaching 40% in China.
Those who pirate apps also don’t use them for as long and seem to be less interested in them. Intensity of usage is also lower. the report also reveals that the percentage of users who try “Lite” or free versions of applications that then purchase the full paid version is roughly 7.4%, while only 0.43% of those who try a pirated copy of an app go on to purchase a legitimate copy. Possibly the most interesting is that pirated apps crash more than purchased ones.
