【Nikki Nova Archives】

It's been just over a day since Apple formally released iOS 10,Nikki Nova Archives but the latest version of the company's mobile operating system has already seen a huge number of installs, despite some early snafus.

New numbers from analytics company Mixpanel estimate the adoption rate for iOS 10 already stands at 14.8 percent.

iOS 9, released last year, is currently installed on more than 86 percent of iOS devices, according to the report, while only 5.3 percent are using iOS 8 or older.

Though it will be some time before we get official numbers from Apple, these numbers would seem to be good news for the company. Mixpanel predicts iOS 10 will reach 50 percent by Sept. 25, just 11 days after launching.

By contrast, last year's iOS 9 stood at 12.42 percent in its first 24 hours and took 12 days to reach 50 percent adoptions, according to the company.

These numbers are particularly significant when you compare them to Android, whose users have historically lagged behind in adopting new versions.

Android Marshmallow, which was released last year, is still only installed on 18.7 percent of devices, according to Google's own numbers. The company doesn't yet have numbers for Android Nougat -- ostensibly because it's installed on less than 0.1 percent of devices.

Though the Nougat update officially dropped last month, it is still only available to Nexus devices. Unlike iOS devices, which are all eligible for upgrades at the same time, Google relies on carriers and device manufacturers to make updates available, which slows down adoption considerably.
