Apple’s new launched iOS 9 has emerged as a blockbuster upgrade for the iPad, thus, giving a bigger dose of productivity. According to the industry gurus and analysts -The iPad-specific enhancements tailored for iOS 9 seems to be one of the biggest software improvements yet for the iPad, which has appeared to be aimed at the just-announced iPad Pro.

According to analytics firm Mixpanel

iOS 9 is making its way into the mainstream with the agility and quickness. However, there are some early download troubles for some iOS9. Mixpanel’s CEO Suhail Doshi says that – “iOS 9 is nearing 12 percent adoption less than 24 hours after it was released into the wild, which is faster growth than iOS 8”. He also added that – “I suspect that some of this had to do with the first-time consumer beta getting people familiar with the new features and in tune to the release schedule.”

Here’s what Doshi said, including comparison of Android adoption with iOS:

“iOS 9 has received 12% adoption in the last 24 hours and is being adopted similar to iOS 8 last year. This kind of adoption took Android’s latest operating system, Lollipop, in comparison 5 months to achieve. One huge advantage Apple got right this year over last year was that the update is much smaller than last year (3.5x smaller) — Apple has empathy for its users who have nearly maxed out the space on their phones. However, one issue for it being substantially slow compared to iOS 7 is that servers are having trouble keeping up right now as people update.”

One of the important factors that might help you out with iOS 9’s adoption is its download size. iOS 9 is a full 3.5 times smaller than that of iOS 8. So, What next?- Grab all of your iPads and iPhones and start downloading.
