Given the title and intro, I expected information useful for people not using the app. Skimming the article didn't yield any, I was wondering if I should bother reading the article if I'm not interested in their app.
Apple can't deprecate the URI standard. It sounds like they've simply stopped using it for links between apps. The actual article title is "iOS 9.2 Update: The Fall of URI Schemes and the Rise of Universal Links," which is a lot less breathless.
I had to solve this problem a couple of years ago for transactional email links from a startup that later ran out of money. It's useful to know that Apple has an alternative solution to linking directly to an app now, or that there is at least a third-party service to help (even if this post is self promoting).
The title should be updated to match the article, though (it's currently "Apple Deprecated a 7 Year Old Standard Today").
