Their math is fucked.

1 in 125 devices would be 0.8%, whereas 0.008% would be 1 in 12500 devices. I mean I guess technically 1 in 12500 is “less than” 1 in 125 devices, but come on.

They later note that it captured “less than 1.5%” of the ecosystem, which… yeah, the numbers they already gave us support that, but by how much? We have no idea, because of their fucked up math.

I assume “1 in 125” is correct, because otherwise, to have sold 720,000 units, there would have had to be about 9 billion total sales in that period.

Their headline, and the summary above, actually say 0.8%. so either they updated their headline or there was some kind of error when posting it here.
I posted the headline as-is. Updated it with the new headline.
