Tell us about the iPhone X activations again, Shitstain.

It's actually even worse - the data shows the increase in activations for a specific device *in the US* over *one weekend*. So it's actually totally misleading. The iPhone X 28% is 28% over the iPhone X *baseline* and the Pixel 38% is 38% over the Pixel's baseline. Only, the iPhone X baseline is a *LOT* bigger, so 28% increase in iPhone X activations constitutes a shitload more activations than a 38% increase in Pixel activations.

"For this analysis, Localytics examined the percentage increase of new devices in the U.S. on Christmas Weekend, including Christmas Day, to a baseline of the prior three weekends in December (Nov 30th - Dec 4th, Dec 7th - Dec 11th, Dec 14th - Dec 18th)."
