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."

    I guess Opera will be getting letters from Apple's lawyers for that ACID2 compliant SmartPhone browser that was available a whole year before the iPhone even launched.

    To make it clear, the Google Maps app on iOS did not provide turn-by-turn navigation.
