These statistics are a bit contrived — that is, a lot is determinant on What O'Reilly decided to publish and promote in 2010.
Not going to spend the time to ferret out all the "recently published" for 2010, but I do not remember any notable PHP books - published. Granted, there were some, but they do not appear to be offering anything not already in existence, especially for a now mature platform.
Though, the decline of Objective C despite all the new titles might indicate that the iOS platform has peaked for now.
- btilly 16y agoAs is clarified in the comments, these statistics are aggregated for all publishers, not just O'Reilly.

- chromatic 16y agoThe same problem applies, however. The report would have at least some use if it accounted for the freshness of titles (given the short snout of sales), the number of titles published in a year, and the title efficiency. (Then again, I've made this criticism year after year, so I've come to take the report as chartjunk with slightly better data than TIOBE.)
