iOS 6 adoption jumps to 15% in a mere 24 hours
Share:
Adoption rate of iOS 6 has jumped to 15% in the first 24 hours, according to a report from online advertising network Chitika. iOS 5 in comparison took five days to reach 20% penetration, and it seems certain that the new version of Apple’s mobile platform will beat that.
Google’s awesome performance-driving Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update in comparison, months after its launch, is still adopted by just around 1.5% of users. This number will surge in October and November, but still we’re talking months, not days.
Apple’s update to iOS 6 is a gradual step in building up the mobile operating system that started it all in 2007. It brings 200 new features, most of them incremental updates, save for the new Maps app that replaces Google Maps (and is hugely disappointing at that).

ios 6 got this jump because it supports many devices compared to ics which initially supported the galaxy nexus

That's simply not true bro. I'm also an android fan, and as one I know how slow a droid adoption is for handsets. It's something google themselves have admitted, but androids greatest strength is also its greatest weakness... It's diversity. Too many manufacturers chipsets, screen sizes and resolutions hurt the adoption rate. Not a bad thing not a good thing, just a true thing.

The devices feel a little faster, but Facetime over 3G/4G is limited to the iPhone4S and iPad3. :-/
Why is simply beyond me!?!?
Also it automatically moves you to the AppStore of the country you happen to be in when upgrading your phone causing a nightmare when trying to update your apps.

I honestly think that's Apple limiting use on the device so people upgrade. I've been able to FaceTime on my iPhone 4 for years with jailbreak.

Jellybean is even lower. I can't believe a lot of Android devices are still on Gingerbread.

Can you please answer me Apple?
Why there is a downhill on the graph on the left?
I would only expect it only comes in uphill :(

Becausw when I tried to update iOS 5 the update kept failing until 2 weeks later

It was not an achievement that people updated to IOS6, it was just an no other option decision!!
Achievement is to make people to stay in the line to buy a "longer Iphone 4s", called 5.
Apple do something with IOS because you are losing us!!
At least now i have beautiful clock in Ipad 2!!
PS: Thankfully my Galaxy S3 has perfect maps!

apple has only three models and all the phones are their own, so it is not rocket scinece that the rate of adoption is fast....... do not see anything extraordinary.

What I don't understand why the fragmentation issue within iOS is not discussed more. Sure their newest phones are on the same OS number, but it really isn't the same version. Different model of phones get versions of the OS.

Sounds like same old RANT (agaist Android) -- SJ style -- about adoption rate (or fragmentation). WONDER when we get an article on wardrobe of the person who bought that 17 mil house.

The 15% will have to do with Apple's terrible maps. Sadly. But I have to say, I am impressed. This is what Apple's about! Timely updates. Other OEM's should learn.

Massive adoption of IOS6 yes, but I have already seen 5 customers today who have bricked their 4s', a cunning Apple plan to push more I-5 sales.
I smell a conspiracy.
Seriously though Apple need to do something to improve the ease of upgrading the OS, as with every upgrade I see a disproportionately high number of upgrade failures and self bricking.
