    The 32% is the percent increase in revenue the Apple App Store saw from the same quarter last year. (From $14.5B to $19B.) The nearly double is how much more the Apple App Store makes, compared to the Google Play Store in the same quarter. ($19B vs $10.39B) 
    Sorry, it was late and I wasn’t reading the chart correctly. Got it now 🥴

  • Apple pulls buggy macOS Mojave Security Update, Safari 14

    Safari 14 has been a disaster in the past fortnight as far as the long-promised support by Apple of Google’s amazing .WEBP lossless image format that is finally making inroads against JPEG and PNG... with huge bandwidth savings on file sizes and being pushed heavily by Google for all websites trying to optimize for Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals performance analytics.

    Works fine for standard pictures and backgrounds but if the .webp pic has an alpha channel transparency on a Z layer, the Safari v14 browser just doesn’t have a clue, whilst Chrome, Firefox and the others merrily display whatever you throw at them. In general it’s loading websites far slower since v14 than its competitors.

    Thankfully I didn’t update my MacPro’s Mojave yet to have the other problems with the OS itself.

    I don’t trust google with a universal image format, but that’s just me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

    I've had a gloriously smooth iOS 14 experience so far. The infuriating phone and text bugs which were persistent on my SE Classic from the Jan or Feb update of iOS 13 seem to have been eliminated. And I’m loving all the new features and details, especially the security ones. 

    However, I’m right there with you as far as updating the MacPro; thank God I’ve been procrastinating on that!
