I wouldn't so firmly say "not anymore" when only 15% of Android users[1] are on the latest version of Android almost a year after its release. That number probably won't go any higher over time either because Android's update cycle is a mess.

> That number probably won't go any higher over time either because Android's update cycle is a mess. What? People don't upgrade to an older phone. That number has nowhere to go but highter. The upgrade cycle being a mess just make this take more time.

  >What? People don't upgrade to an older phone. No, but new phones come out all the time that are STILL using older Android versions. I think it will take around 2-3 years for all new Android phones to come with the latest Android.

  By "that number" I meant the percentage of users who're using the latest version of Android. Lollipop's numbers will eventually get higher, but by that time there'll be 2 or 3 newer versions of Android.
