As per Chitika (advertising network), Android users are 80% more valuable than iPhone, i.e. higher CTR on Android devices than iPhone.
Online ad network Chitika looked at ad click rates across its network for the two devices and came to the conclusion that Android users are by far more valuable individually than iPhone users – people on the Android OS clicked on ads 81% more often than people on the iPhone [source].
A possible reason, Chitika cites could be because of the difference in display size. Android devices, however, by and large have similar screens to the iPhone, and Chitika’s advertisements display the same on both devices.

The deal is done and transition is done. Yahoo! is done with transitioning the search results backend to Microsoft.
Yahoo! Web, Image, and Video search experiences on both desktop and mobile devices are now powered by the Microsoft platform in the US and Canada (English), with more markets to come. The speed in which this was completed is a testament to the great work and partnership between a number of Yahoo! and Microsoft employees, the ranks of which are numerous.
