I don't mean this as any disparagement of the base claims - which are themselves somewhat a function of the fact that the majority Android market is fragmented into many, while the minority iOS market is One, as we all know - but the underlying network of corporate links here : that is, this story being a release by Blackstone's IDG Inc., who also ran the MacWorld magazines and trade shows, e.g. at which Steve Jobs famously debuted the first iPhone, and so on - along with some emotive media language in the story (e.g. "stunning numbers") - do arguably highlight how such releases also involve elements of selective framing which support the commercial motives and networks of the releasers.
