Can someone please explain to a non-Apple person what the hell happened that started generating so much traffic? Perhaps I missed it in this thread, but I would be curious to know what iOS 7 implemented that caused this...
BING for "ios adoption rate" (one estimate is 29% in 16 hours), multiply by # of iThings, multiply by size of iOS, divide by # of seconds in estimate. As for why so many users upgrade so fast, that's a harder question. It could be iThing users are more willing to believe the fruit company's advertising (hype) . Could be that the device tells them to upgrade so they do. It is also at least partially due to the fact all iThings are upgradable (within a certain age horizon). Hope that gives you something to chew on, even if it doesn't answer the question. -- TTFN, patrick
