- leadingthenet 10y agoThankfully, Apple is pretty proactive about getting people on the latest version of the OS. IIRC, iOS 10 runs on over 80% of devices now.

- nkristoffersen 10y agothe hackable 5% :-)
- rimliu 10y agoEasier to hack 5%. The rest are probably hackable too (no secure software exists) just takes more effort.
