Apple this week revealed that technical difficulties with its News app have led the company to underestimate usage figures for the more than 100 publications offering content through the software. The company discovered an error in the app that’s resulted in underestimating the number of readers using the software, according to Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet software and services. Apple is fixing the problem, but he did not say when it would be fixed. The company’s numbers are “lower than reality,” Cue said.
