From CNET: The new iOS 9 software is now on more than 50 percent of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, according to Apple.
The company announced the figure on Monday morning, proclaiming it the fastest iOS adoption rate ever. Apple measures iOS adoption based on the number of devices that visit the Apple Store on a given date. The 50 percent mark is based on Apple's App Store stats as compiled on Saturday, September 19, the fourth day into the rollout of iOS 9.
"iOS 9 is also off to an amazing start, on pace to be downloaded by more users than any other software release in Apple's history," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior market VP, said in a press release on Monday.
Launched last Wednesday throughout the world, Apple's latest version of its mobile operating system improves several of the existing features. Like Microsoft's Cortana, the voice assistant Siri can now remind you of calendar appointments. The Notes app now lets you create checklists, draw sketches and add attachments. And the Apple Maps app now has more mass-transit information, including schedules and subway station entrances for urban locales such as New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Mexico City and Beijing.
