Could you elaborate? I don't understand what is wrong with the headline being a fact.

I will elaborate.

Percentages are not good measures of small quantities. 25 percent of zero is still zero.

It's not a meaningful number.

If you're dealing with small amounts, use small amounts. This is junk.

The problem is that apps in the app store have a variety of price points from $1 to $10 and they are all increasing 25%. Would you rather the title of the article be a table that maps the quantity of increase for each price point?

Your range is off by 1. Quite a number of apps are actually cost zero dollars.

This is a great use case for a thing called averages.

The correct title for the article would be this:

"Apps to increase in price by almost nothing following . . ."
