When you restart a phone with touch id and try to log in using your fingerprint, it automatically asks you for your passcode. No swiping required.
Personally I'd mostly be concerned with security updates.
Doesn't really seem deliberate, just realistic.
The big Android OEMs like Samsung and LG roll out the monthly security patches even if they don't update the OS
The iPad mini 2 (and the iPad mini 3) both use the same 64 bit A7 chip as the 5s and iPad Air. I agree that Apple will most likely drop support for the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, and the iPad 4th gen next year.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.
Might not be debating for too much longer as Apple will stop signing iOS 9 sometime in the near future (aside from some devices that can't support iOS 10).
Anybody try the upgrade on a 4S?
Seriously. All they talk about is the less than two hour window where some, not all, not even most, not even a majority, of devices got bricked. It shouldn't have happened, but it's over now. iOS 10 is almost universally praised, and none of those people can utter a single word about anything except a few phones being temporarily bricked.
You won't be able to install iOS 9 on any device that can run iOS 10. You can only install iOS 9 on the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPad 3, and iPod Touch 5th gen.
My wife is still on iOS7, and I got in enough trouble for updating her phone from iOS6 that I won't touch it again
Just updated my 6. No issues. App launch seems a bit faster. Things seem smooth and I love the fact that I can delete unused Apple apps! Happy with iOS 10 so far.
Apple's latest operating system, iOS 10, is seeing quicker adoption rates than iOS 9 saw during the same adoption period last year, according to data collected by Mixpanel. As of 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, 24 hours after iOS 10 was released, the OS is installed on 14.45 percent of devices.
Comparatively, 24 hours after iOS 9 was released, it was installed on 12.60 percent of devices, also based on data gathered from Mixpanel. That's also similar to iOS 8 adoption rates in 2014, suggesting iOS 10 is slightly outpacing both updates, likely due to the wide range of new features introduced.
iOS 10 saw some early installation issues that have undoubtedly made people weary of downloading the update and have slowed adoption rates.
Shortly after iOS 10 was released, users began seeing their installations fail, requiring them to connect to a computer to repair the installation or restore via iTunes. Apple fixed the issue within an hour, but not before it impacted hundreds.
Since then, iOS 10 has installed smoothly and we've seen few bug reports, suggesting it's stable and safe to download. iOS 10 adoption will likely jump up as we hit the weekend, as people will have time to do the installation, and with the iPhone 7 releasing on Friday, there will be millions of new devices running the operating system.
With iOS 10 adoption on the rise, the number of devices running iOS 9 is steadily falling. iOS 9 is now installed on 81.09 percent of devices. 4.46 percent of devices continue to run iOS 8 or earlier.
iOS 10 is a free update that's available for the iPhone 5 and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, the iPad 4 and later, and the 6th generation iPod touch.

How is battery life in your opinion VS iOS 9.3.5?
Perhaps. What is most annoying is that while retaining an old OS continues to allow email, web browsing, calendar/contacts syncing, its the 3rd party apps that gradually stop working reducing the convenience/utility of an old pad.
