I was expecting a bit more nuance and insight than '18,000 classes, lol, FB is dumb.' At the very least, it'd be interesting to note what the size of the app might be after app thinning goes live next month.

Details on app thinning?
In brief, a new feature of iOS 9 that allows app resources to be delivered on a device specific basis..meaning that, for example, a user with an iPhone 5 will no longer need to download assets meant to support the 6+ or iPad.

Not just assets, but also the compiled binary will be for that architecture alone. ARM6, ARM7 etc. Really cool stuff.
Not at all before iOS 9.0 general release.
