iOS 10 Overtakes iOS 9, Now Installed on 48% of Devices

I too miss the focus on the original computers. The ones designed to create more than consume.
I think the end-game is for iPhone to become the main computing platform - walk up to a screen/keyboard and you've got your mac. Apple is correct to put much focus on iPhone/iCloud - The processors are quickly catching up to desktop levels, Apple can project its os onto other devices (ie: carplay) and the iOS is getting more and more sophisticated.

Yeah my problem is I wish I could get slide to unlock back. For devices without TouchID it kinda sucks. If I wake my phone screen and put it back in my pocket, it will unlock itself and do all kinds of things.
Add the iPad 3 to your list.
Basically, it seems all iOS devices not supporting 64-bit cannot run iOS 10.
Its growth can be attributed to constant nagging.
I assume they're sampling GLOBAL activity by iOS version at any given time. The graph doesn't mention the timezone being used, but at some time in the 'early hours' there's a combination of low iOS 10 device activity (presumably when the US sleeps) and high iOS 9 activity (Asian morning, European evening). Or something.
edit: now with added GLOBAL
further edit: it's US Pacific time

Does this plot make any sense to anyone? How is iOS 10 dipping and coming back up +/-5% multiple times in the span of a few days?
Edit:
thanks mojolicious. That makes some sense

iOS at 48%.
Android Nougat at 0.48% (just a guess, probably even less).
iOS 11 will undoubtedly be 64bit only and iOS 10 will be the last version to support older 32bit devices.
Which also means Apple is going to be able to get rid of some excess baggage in iOS 11 which will further improve performance.

Oh, you are correct! Then it must be all iOS devices without a Lighting connector and/or less than 1 GB RAM
i'm surprised. many of my friends ask me what the hell i just sent them in messages because they haven't upgraded. it's frustrating explaining that i just slammed the poop emoticon at them. so frustrating /s
I question the authenticity of this chart...There should be some margin of error posted. There is no way that many people are backtracking to IOS 9, then going back to 10 the next day or two. It is real easy to make it sound accurate by quoting numbers to the 10,000th place (iOs 10 at 48.16% = .4816), but the variations up and down are too large for me to accept this chart at anything beyond face value.
Once there is a Jailbreak for iOS 10, I'll move my four iPhones and iPad over to it. Till then, I'm on 9.3.3 and 9.0.2 on my devices.
The reasons why it has higher adopt rates:
1) reminder is pissing me off "please update...I'll remind your a** again."
2) apps may require up to date
3) when you buy a new iPhone it comes with it

I heard that the Samsung Note 7 was the bomb.
I still don't understand where they did away with the proactive Music controls and app shortcuts on the lockscreen from iOS 9. That might've been my favorite thing in iOS.
It's amazing how many people upgrade in just two weeks. If Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 upgrades happened this quickly, it would be incredible.
Interesting how people are so quick to upgrade their phones yet so reluctant to update their desktop/laptops.

Just as on fire as previous iPhone models and power adapters. Smoking hot and in flames.
It doesn't update itself though. It's up to the user whether or not they press "install now"
No, they're absolutely not silly. Having as many people as possible running the latest release of the OS means the users are more secure from attack vectors that have been patched, and developers can focus more of their efforts on supporting the latest OS version.
This is an area of considerable importance - it's not just a nice thing to have, and it doesn't just affect each user individually, but the userbase as a whole, sort of like herd immunity - and it's an area where iOS completely spanks Android, given that many Android phone makers and/or carriers can't be bothered to provide an upgrade path for many of their phones, so most users will never be allowed to run the latest OS (unless they buy an entirely new Android phone).

Only 3 years old? It's a good thing that the bad guys haven't spent any time looking for holes to exploit in the past 3 years.
