Doesn’t exist. Why? Because 80% of iOS users are on the most RECENT version, not the latest 2 versions. No, sorry, this isn’t the developer’s fault. Android 2.x is a mess… slow, buggy, and fragmented.

This will jump considerably come mid-month once it includes all the RAZR and RAZR MAXX phones, too. Note that it says the data was collected “over a 14 day period ending July 2.” That means that for most of that period, most RAZR and RAZR MAXXes didn’t have ICS yet. So the number today should be higher than in this survey.

The tiny 10% represent several million devices. 12,000 is nothing.

Did they say at I/O when JellyBean’s release date or guesstimate would be to maybe a certain month?

Hopefully with all the sgs3 that ICS number will increase a lot.

I know a girl who unfortunately can’t upgrade to the latest OS because her Mac OS needs to be updated, which in order update the Mac OS she needs newer hardware. No wonder apple has so much profit!

While none of this is official data, trends show that about 85-90% of iPhones are running iOS5 after 6 months. Very small percentage of iPhone users are running 2 versions ago…

One of my phones is on Gingerbread because that is the newest available (Droid Charge). It has nothing to do with not caring.

I’ve always had the latest version, give or take a few weeks, on my Incredible and now Galaxy Nexus. Have never rooted. I’m happy. If people care about having the latest and greatest they’ll have it one way or another. If theres all these clueless people out there on old versions its probably because they dont care. They see updating as an inconvenience, dont want to upgrade to a new device, or generally dont care about the new features. Why make a big deal about supporting these people when they could really care less about it? I’m not saying its not a problem at all, but for the most part I think It’s just an argument for nerds to debate endlessly.

The GB builds for the GS1 type devices sucks. I have a number of friends that updated via Kies and they came to me trying to find a way back to Froyo because their devices lagged and ran like crap. This was even after factory resets and anything else that people were suggesting. That and most people don’t know how to even use Kies. T-Mobile and AT&T not using OTA pushes is truly a fail for carrier support.

My old OG Droid was updated to Froyo officially, but I had it running on CM7 just fine.

This will jump considerably once the SIII hits the US (Verizon), as well as with the inclusion of JB on the Nexus devices, come mid-month.

IF VERIZON would just release the damned finished ICS for the rezound we could get this chart filling alot better. BUT because their heads are so far up Motorola @ss we have to wait for THEM to finish rollout first. pathetic
