25% of popular models doesn't mean 25% of phones currently in circulation. If the iPhone has a barometer (which it does), that's already a huge share of phones out there.

But the point stands, it’s about the distribution of phones not how many models support it.

I'm in favor of Transit trying to reach more than 25% of the most popular phone models even if doing so would get them 75% of the population.
