As far as OS version fragmentation, iOS 6 and Android 2.x are both running on approximately 20% of their respective ecosystems. But for some reason iOS developers are more ruthless in cutting off older devices. I recently convinced a very insistent company to drop Android 2.x support after I pointed out that they had already dropped iOS 6 support without giving it a second thought.
- melling 13y agoSo, now you support one version on each platform?
- guelo 13y agoOne major version with several minor versions. iOS 7.0 and 7.1, and Android 4.0 through 4.4.
- eloisant 13y agoI guess more iPhone users have the opportunity to upgrade for free than Android users.
- tafda 13y agoiOS 6 was released fall 2012, the last release of Android 2.x was in 2011. A better comparison would be Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to iOS 6 - that's 35% of the android base on ancient versions (pre 4.1, relative to iOS's 4%) cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.1_Jelly_Bean_.28API_level_16.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_6 http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/12/05/apple-pegs-ios-7-distribution-at-74-ios-6-at-22 http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/12/05/apple-pegs-ios-7-d...
