iOS 6 adoption above 15% after just 24 hours, report says
An analysis on Thursday by Chitika Insights claims Apple's new iOS 6 was installed on over 15 percent of compatible devices in the mobile operating system's first 24 hours of availability.Ad network Chitika's analytics arm, Chitika Insights, sampled millions of ad impressions from Sept. 19 to Sept. 20, comparing the growth rate of iOS 6 to total iOS device web usage. After seeing a peak of over 16 percent earlier today, the adoption of the new iOS 6 has is now hovering at 15 percent.

The full graph illustrates the huge swell in iOS 6 usage right around the time Apple released the OS to the public. Before the mountainous climb, the number of devices running iOS 6 was well below one percent, mainly consisting of developers using pre-release version of the OS.
In comparison to Thursday's findings, Apple's previous iOS 5 took five days to breach 20 percent adoption. If the adoption rate of iOS 6 continues, it is on track to outperform its predecessor.
Chitika also points out that a similar study found the adoption rate of Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which is only compatible with certain handsets, saw a 1.5 percent in its first two months of availability.

After updating, I wish I could downgrade our two devices to 5. iOS 6 is buggy as hell. I would wait for 6.01 if I were you...
And Android has managed to update about 1.5% of Android 2.2 devices after 2 years.
"But unlike Android, this 15% is ALL that Apple will get because they ruined Maps."

That's inaccurate--and although some old devices do still have 2.2, they do still have the latest version of Maps! ;)

and the sad thing is they are sill selling phones with 2.X.
This is amazing. I do not even know how this is technically feasible, since their data center does not seem to be operational yet.
I agree that Maps in iOS 6 is sub par.
And I've posted this in the other discussion thread, but seriously, are there methods that the public can join in to help improve maps?...especially considering the fast/large adoption rate of iOS6 Maps.
If so, what are those methods?....and if so, how best to publicize these methods?

Which bugs? I've experienced none, other than
THE UGLY WHITE KEYPAD IN THE PHONE APP
Ok, that's off my chest.

It works well for me. I imagine it will for the majority of users as well. Of course, I never felt Google Maps worked that well for me either.
And of course, we'll only hear from the angry users.

I wasn't aware that Android was an entity, the responsibility for offering an update is that of the carrier and the OEM, not this magically person Android you talk of.
