iOS 7.0.6 Usage Tops 25% Four Days After Emergency Fix for SSL Issue

And what percentage of all Windows PCs are currently on the latest version of the OS with all applicable security updates?
Dear Lord don't get me started! Windows keeps on pushing updates like a bad never-ending TV soap opera... you are using your machine it slows down, you look at the corner and windows is updating... great... ok, you are about to shut down it tells you it needs to apply updates... ok great...
You restart (after it applied the first set of updates for the day), and then again your machine slows down and windows is updating... you are like wait a minute didn't you do that in the morning... shut down, restart, repeat.
After two or three restarts, you are set... for the day...
Why can't microsoft bundle updates?
...and a lot of people not even upgrading from iOS 5.

If you put it on the device you use all the time, you'll soon get used to it. My girlfriend was annoyed at the update at first, but now doesn't even mention it.
What horribly configured version of Windows are you using (or misusing)? Haven't ran into this kind of thing since pre-XP days.
Because a secure SSL connection is pointless?
There is a Cydia-patch for that, of course.
The fact that you are jailbroken changes the equation a bit.
I'm sorry, forgot to mention that. But again, of course.
I am one of those who happily used iOS 6.x on their iPad 3. But given the severity of this - very stupid, thank you, Apple! - security bug I finally decided to upgrade to iOS 7.
Wow! Does this new UI stink to heaven! And it is slooooooow! Even clicking on a "Settings category" (y'know, to turn off all those annoying swooshy animations) sometimes took half a second to actually show the corresponding setting "screen" (part, dialog, form, ... whatever you'd call it) on the right side.
And whoever decided that "colour gradients from bright orange to purple" would actually look cool - think again! (Or employ someone who is actually not colour blind!).
I ****ing hate those new icons!

You mean... as in "Service Packs"?

Just for apps.

Sorry to hear that you're on iOS 7, too - yeah, it really sucks big time, as I just discovered (after weeks of resistance) myself recently.

I fell sorry for you buddy. Lets hope they not will do the same to OS X. I will never get iOS 7, or at least until that day has come were you need a new phone.
Apple has done nothing to inform customers of the SSL bug. Apple pushes updates to iDevices. No reason to think it is anything but another update to an iOS the user does to want.
Friday while I was trying to get more info on the the SSL bug I was interrupted twice by the nag screen prompting me to upgrade to Mavericks another unsecure OS at that time with no patch available from Apple.
Apple is very irresponsible concerned only with forcing users to the next buggy OS. Seems as if Apple does not realize we have options for or next tech purchase.
The 4 with its single processor definitely makes the case for getting the 6.x SSL update - as it takes a hit going to 7 supposedly.
No worries, I've amended my original post to include darkslide's quote as well.
We don't want anybody to feel left out now
Windows 7, been using Windows since I was a kid (WinWG 3.11) and used every release since, so I know a thing or two about it. It is a reality, windows updates are incremental, meaning you need to get service update (for example) 113 before 114 is installed, since 113 updates parts of the system that 114 does not, so you can't jump to 114 directly. Sometimes though, update 113 requires a restart (processes being used by system) to be fully installed, and once 113 has been installed, now windows update detects that you are ready for 114 and it installs it, which on its own requires a restart.
So yea, it happens all the time, windows applies patches sequentially, sometimes though this sequential update requires restarts, and the user ends up having to restart two or three times before their system no longer shows that icon.
The good news is, it's minimally disruptive, rarely does windows FORCE you to restart your machine, it quitely sits in the corner until you shut down.
Is it the best way to do it? probably not, but I'm sure Microsoft have their reasons (rapid deployment of fixes, etc...)
It isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, but it can be annoying sometimes. I think one reason for doing it this way is that you can easily uninstall each individual update if it causes any kind of problems - the exact opposite of iOS
Some of the iOS 5 usage could be iPad 1 users.
It really is unfortunate that people who don't want iOS 7 now face an increased risk of security because Apple won't allow them to use 6.1.6.
The other thing is that anyone who is deliberately staying on iOS 6 might not know about the 7.0.6 patch and what it solves. It would just show up as an iOS 7 update still, as it would have for the past 5 months.
There are diverse reasons for avoiding upgrades. Some are medical in basis. For instance an old person or an autistic child can face a greater challenge in dealing with changes. Hanging on to the past can be amusing or tragic depending on circumstances. At any rate, its a lost battle in the tech world as nearly all of us get dragged along with the herd eventually as the past quickly becomes unsupported.
That I agree on, Windows Vista updates were a disaster, very annoying, disruptive, and really it felt like the PC had a mind of its own, you could be working on a super important document due in two hours but it forces an update.
Windows 7 is still my favorite Windows
It's a big number in terms of the millions of people running iOS devices.

You're kidding right?
HINT: Look at article

The article doesn't indicate how many people are "refusing to upgrade."
95% of what your are saying isn't the patch experience for Windows so I don't know what you're doing to get it to misbehave like that. But this is off topic so it doesn't matter. I just hate to see FUD and wrong technical information disseminated anywhere.
yes, but all the iOS7 devices are not the latest and greatest based on user choice, not because they are restricted from upgrading.
iOS6 would be all 3GS users, and they received an update. All other users on iOS6 who chose not to upgrade are the only ones that are SOL as there is no way for them to get a 6.1.6 update they must upgrade to 7.0.6 for the latest and greatest security.
for Android users their pie chart is fragmented but because that's all their phone manufacturer/carrier will implement.
