iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours

Posted by timothy on from the must've-hated-the-last-version dept.

An anonymous reader writes "iOS 6 has seen rapid adoption among iPhone and iPad users, reports developer David Smith. Smith's applications like Audiobooks get around 100k downloads weekly and he's taken to mapping the adoption of Apple's software releases over the last couple of years. This update's data shows a 35.4% adoption of iOS 6, with iOS 5.x holding court at 71.5% adoption. That's a pretty rapid pace, eclipsing Android Jelly Bean's 2-month adoption levels of 1.2% easily."

    Why even bother to post that? iOS device users DO NOT read reviews of anything ever. Wanna know why? They don't ever admit that anything from Apple is inferior in any way or has any flaw. And the high adoption rate is because of their legendary money management skills, lol.

    i work for ATT which arguably has the largest number of Idevices, and as an escalation manager ... when in reality any software, hardware update should be shunned for at least six months.

    You have no understanding of what your clients want or need. Do a favor to them and find yourself a new job.

    So, it's iOS vs Nexus Android, and iOS vs non-Nexus Android now? You'll be sure to let us know in other iOS vs Android discussions, right?

    And what does the iOS vs Nexus marketshare look like today?
