iOS 10 Now Installed on 14.5% of Devices, Early Adoption Rates Outpacing iOS 9 Adoption

[nia820]

Depends, if someone updates their iPhone while they need it badly it's partly their own stupidity, people should always update when at home when they can acces a computer/update when you don't need your iPhone badly.

Their own stupidity? There is no disclaimer by Apple that says to update at home near a computer. In fact Apple is trying to phase out laptops with iPad pros. So this nonsense that you should be home near a computer when updating is just that, nonsense.

My wife is on IOS8 and refuses to update...

Sensible.
Personally; I expect the adoption rate is partly because people want to get off ios9. If you're lucky/sensible enough to still be on a better version like ios8; the decision is much harder.

Do I want this on a 6?

its on my 6+ and im down with it.

 

[nia820]

Married people won't like it if they don't know how to turn off all the information in the notification screen.

Yeah my ex would have been sweating like pig if iOS 10 came out while we were together. Lol! He was bad at technology and wouldn't know what to do.

I installed it OTA on a 6s+, a 6, and an iPad Air 2. All went smoothly, with no issues.

Overall I really like iOS 10. Adds useful features and tweaks unlike the last few major updates. One thing that is killing me though is how banner notifications stack up and display all at once when you first unlock your phone if you haven't looked at it for a while. Very annoying.

After the update started to crater for the OTA updaters, there was Apple Support Twitter telling those people that they should hardwire update through iTunes to resolve their disabled iDevice ... P!SS OFF Apple.

Even if there was no new features i would still be very happy, my iPhone SE felt fast before on iOS 9, but on iOS 10 its frickin fast!!! Everything seems to happen instantly.

 

[Rogifan]

I like I was 10 but why does it feel like it's regressing on the iPad? Other than split view iOS on iPad just seems like iPhone software ported to bigger screen. Do not like.

I think part of the reason there's so much "early adoption" these days is that Apple cranks up the number of times we get prompted to upgrade. Eventually, everyone caves. It's pretty easy to tout that everyone upgrades when you annoy them constantly if they don't.

Well, that is your opinion.
There are also plenty of people losing their personal data like pictures/videos when their iPhone breaks/get stolen, without a backup, that is stupidity, same like updating any OS when you have important things to do, need your device badly, it shouldn't happen that a device gets "bricked" (I Agree) but the fact is, it does happen once in a while, it's software made by humans.

Been a great update so far, really only complaint has been a feeling of far less battery life, but, it is still a new release.

iOS8 was like Vista. All iDevices I have ended up being better on iOS9.

CarPlay on my 2016 Civic is a bloody mess now. Works for maybe 5 minutes when it works. I've also had a LOT of weird buggy things happen. Might have to try a reinstall to see if that fixes it. But so far, hate this update.

 

[DotCom2]

Is it just me or did something change?
When I first turned it on after the update the colors seemed more vibrant.
This is on a 6 plus.
Maybe just my glasses were cleaner? LOL!

 

[RedOrchestra]

iOS on iPad just seems like iPhone software ported to bigger screen.

And after all these years I'm convinced it's NEVER going to change. The iPhone is the flagship and that's where the time and money is going.

 

[Bregalad]

So slide to unlock is gone completely in favour of TouchID? That's going to suck this winter. I have gloves with a special pad on the index finger that lets me interact with my iPhone, but it obviously doesn't transmit fingerprints.

 

[iReality85]

The cynical side of me says people just couldn't wait to delete Apple's stock apps.

That was one of the first things I did!

I stealth updated my wife's last night when she went to bed. She wasn't happy, but wasn't totally unhappy. Such is the married life.

Haha!! I did the same exact thing. She wasn't happy either until I started putting Alto's adventure llama stickers on all of her texts, and now she is happy as a clam about the update. I seriously haven't seen her this giddy in a long time. Headline: iOS 10 is better than marriage counseling.

during the betas IOS 10 was a mess with carplay, but I have not had any issues in the last 2-3 weeks.

 

[frifra]

I must confess that my iPhone 6 is really faster and snappier with iOS 10 than iOS 9.

But are you?

 

[HiRez]

I haven't swiped to unlock my phone since I got touch ID like... three years ago. I actually hadn't even though about that until I read your comment, and now it feels really weird to say.

I still use swipe to unlock occasionally. Let say you have your fat face fully into a drippy bbq sandwich. It's delicious, but all your fingers are greasy and you need to answer a call or check a stock or tweet or whatever it is you do. The greasy fingers won't work with Touch ID and you wouldn't want to touch your phone anyway. So you swipe-unlock using a non-greasy knuckle.

I'm holding out on my 5S, 6S, 6S+, 6+ and iPad Mini 2 until there is an iOS 10 jailbreak.

I tried updating this morning and after installing it required my phone to connect to iTunes and told me that it either needed to restore to factory settings or update back to 9.3.5. So I currently haven't been able to update -__-

I was able to update 3 phones and an iPad over the air yesterday with no issues.

I have a dim memory from past updates that battery usage goes up after an update - uploading revised apps, the system indexing the content on the phone, learning about your habits with respect to the phone use etc. - but then tends to go down again.
