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

I was thinking the same thing.
(Nerd alert!) So I wonder how they calculate the stat. Whether it's percentage of compatible iDevices, iDevices in general, or active iDevices. Also, the new iPhones shouldn't affect the stat, unless you replace the old device with the new one in your calculation.
People that cheat in a marriage. Some embarrassing info could be displayed for all to see without any password needed.
Not sure why that has to be some "marriage" thing. If you are simply talking about privacy, like I mentioned, all that kind of stuff is configurable, and has been basically the same in previous iOS versions as well.
Yup updated my iPhone 5 last night and pleasantly surprised with this update. No problems noticed thus far and no lag or anything.
It could be because there is a trend in many asian countries that folks don't use the home button because they don't want to wear it out. They use the accessibility circle on their screen.

I have downloaded on all my devices,no problem so far,was on public beta first
Been using since Beta, so I don't think it is doing any back end optimization at this point. In my memory, the first public update after it has been released, usually resolves many of the battery issues.
Primarily, the predictive app launcher on the lock screen, but also the automatic music/pandora/spotify/iBooks etc controls for those of us with audiojack equipped phones.
It doubled as a swipe up to unlock feature, so I can see why would be confusing but still. The "audio connection" shortcut was in the multitasking menu as well.
I have a friend who doesn't take paracetamol because she doesn't want to build up an immunity to it. So I said to her "What's the point in not building up an immunity to it if you're never going to use it anyway?"
She was pretty stumped by that one.
Exactly! It stinks of trend chasing to me and it doesn't even look good. Visually I feel like iOS 9 nailed it.
And is it my imagination that Apple seems to have decided that everyone is visually impaired? Everything is either huge or bold.
Your complaining that you can't update 4 year old iPad?

It's a solid release and finally they fixed the GUI effects so they don't slow you down so bad. I like the new notifications and widgets setup as well, which is funny because reading about it I didn't think I would. But in practice it's great.
Main thing that still needs fixing is scrolling behavior. Android crushes iOS in this one usability area, it's just a flick of a fingertip on my Nexus 7 to scroll anywhere in a large website yet on my 6 Plus it's a CTS-inducing chore to scroll more than half a page.
Very puzzling why Apple won't at least put in a setting for scrolling responsiveness. iOS is like if OS X lacked a Preference pane for mouse speed. It's like there are now little bozo enclaves scattered throughout Apple to thwart true perfection.

My guess is that they will drop the iPhone 5 and 5c but leave the 5s in iOS 11. 64-bit will be the cutoff (so no iPad mini 2 or 4th gen-iPad).

So the uptake is only about 300x as fast as Android, not 365x.
Fragmentation is horrendous. Which is why buying anything but a Nexus or iPhone makes things more difficult. You have 40k different processor/carrier/hardware combos that f everything up. Android is like PC gaming. It might have better raw "power," but it's so inconsistent from OEM to OEM. With Apple, it's like a console. They design each aspect and control the software. It forces devs to work on a better standard.
As for the 64bit, I agree. But then again, the iPad 2 is still alive. Idk why though. It's outdated tech.
Huge, bold, and yet somehow still hard to read.

I know, my Nexus 7 2013 is aleady cut off from Nougat. Three years and they pull the plug? And Google don't even offer a new replacement in 7-8"! All they sell is that heavy-arsed Pixel C(rap).
I love Android but eff it I'm getting an iPad Mini. No way will I put up with a Samsung tablet filled with their crapware enhancements to Android. I played with one in the store a few days ago and it's so repellent you just want to wretch your guts out on the display table.
The 4th-gen iPad is the oldest that supports iOS 10. It uses the 32-bit A6, as do the iPhone 5 and 5c. Next year I expect both to be dropped from iOS 11 support.
And what sort of an answer would you expect in relation to that? (I guess other than to check compatible devices listed at the bottom of the page at https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-10/.)
Can you show the source showing that the market share for those devices being small?
Besides Now on Tap, I'm not sure there are so many compelling reasons to upgrade to M so no one is in a rush and those that are can download third party installers or utilities. Stock apps are updated no matter which version you're running. Is there anything in particular in M or even iOS10 that you think is missing in Android L?
Besides, 19% of Android devices is probably about the same absolute number as 100% of iOS devices
You use your phone much more than the average user then, and certainly never start it or run out of battery
Before Verizon carried the iPhone. I was Blackberry, then Android user. Loved Blackberry. Android was a step up from Blackberry in all it could do. I liked Android but was frustrating with all the crashing and the inability to get the lasted version of Android almost any device older than 6 months old. ..if you were lucky.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; the iPhone secret sauce is the amazing iOS. And I'll give props to Android because it's been very innovative and Apple has had to play catch up on occasion, but both have gotten better from the dualism and competition.
But again, going from Android to iOS, was like a light coming on. There is no way I could ever go back to Android unless Apple really drops the ball on iOS.
Apple dropped the ball in the design department, but its engineering and software devisions have thankfully carried Apple on its back to keep the iPhone as the only smartphone anyone should really consider.
