This is the first comment from the article (and also somewhat makes sense?)
The math in this article is painfully bad.
You can't make statements that a drop from 3.6% to 0.7%
market share is a "plunge of 81%" in sales.
You could only do that if the underlying volume hadn't changed.
Also, normally you would never calculate a percentage change on a percentage.
It's at best drivel and at worst, misleading.
This article title should read: Android market share rises 5.8%,
IOS slides 3.5%, but that's hardly as exciting, now is it?
