iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours

An anonymous reader writes "iOS 6 has seen rapid adoption among iPhone and iPad users, reports developer David Smith. Smith's applications like Audiobooks get around 100k downloads weekly and he's taken to mapping the adoption of Apple's software releases over the last couple of years. This update's data shows a 35.4% adoption of iOS 6, with iOS 5.x holding court at 71.5% adoption. That's a pretty rapid pace, eclipsing Android Jelly Bean's 2-month adoption levels of 1.2% easily."

That's great?

No, but wake me up when it hits 125%.

Math is hard

So, iOS 5.x and 6.0 have reached 106.9% adoption on his site? That's impressive.

Well... now it makes sense. If they used the same people releasing these numbers to craft the maps, I can imagine bigger map tiles causing all those bumps on the roads and airports after stitching.

You don't understand... Steve was dying, and Google mocked him by making a hydra in the shape of his greatest brain child. That damned Android just wouldn't die, and the more heads Steve cut off, the more the damn thing would grow. He had to crush Google and its Gawd forsaken Android. He had no choice but to jettison every bit of Google from the AppleSphere. If it hurts Apple, so be it, Android must be obliterated or the space time continuum will shatter!

So clearly you must see it was a simple business decision.

I know that one: mix brown rice, lentils, onions, garlic, yams, plantains, green peas and jamaican jerk flavor until it becomes a vegetable stew.
