iMessage: Malformed Message Bricks iPhone

The fix has been available for almost two months. Don't iOS updates hit the 50% adoption mark within two weeks?

http://gs.statcounter.com/ios-version-market-share/mobile-ta... shows 12.3 at around 50%, so the question for me would be what percentage of that long tail would upgrade within any reasonable extension period. Public news might actually accelerate that since it gives people a reason not to procrastinate hitting that button.

The numbers at the top are misleading. Are they the average over the graph's time interval? Average over June? Not clear, but I suspect the latter.

If you switch the graph to daily, you see that it passed 51% on June 10th, i.e. in four weeks, and it's at 66% now.

But yeah, the big question is how stubborn that long tail is, in the face of news reports about serious bugs or not.

I’m not sure of the stats honestly but there’s still going to be a huge long tail of people on earlier versions for months afterwards. I was surprised that I was still on iOS 12.2.
