- kkowalczyk 16y agoBut that's not the news. The news is about the overall trend of Android surpassing iOS on metrics that people track and care about. There was a period where newspapers were reporting about iPhone developers making big bucks. It wasn't news because a particular developer made some money but because it showed a new trend of iPhone becoming a new way of making good money for many people. The "new" part was why it was news (a new company making big bucks selling Windows software isn't news those days, even though there are still plenty of them). Similarly, the current thinking today is that you can make more money on iOS. This article is newsworthy because it shows that this might be changing (granted one data point doesn't make a revolution, but one data point is more than zero and to get comprehensive picture we have to start with sharing single data points).
