Raw data is important, but understanding the significance and depth of the numbers can make all of the difference.
When Gartner released its most recent report on worldwide device sales, it demonstrated that, in terms of raw numbers, Google (GOOGL 1.24%) is still growing at a faster rate than Apple (AAPL 0.60%). As important as considering the raw data can be, however, the quality of growth needs to be understood, as well.
