That figure sounds way too high

Edit: yes I understand it is correct, but still it sounds like an insane amount

They're confusing "sales facilitates by the app store" with sales from the app store itself.

That 1T figure is real, but it includes things like if you buy a refrigerator using the Amazon iOS app.

Yeah, the article itself even lists the reality at about 20% of the 1.3T.

It's true, though.

It is now evident why Flash was murdered.

Because it was buggy, known for security holes and the single biggest source of application crashes in all software in the late 90's through early 00's.

> We now know why Flash was murdered

This is a stupid conspiracy given Apple decided not to support Flash on iPhone since before Jobs came around on third-party apps. (The iPhone was launched with a vision of Apple-only native apps and HTML5 web apps. The latter's performance forced Cupertino's hand into launching the App Store. Then they saw the golden goose.)
