This is a bar chart of iOS6 adoption over time.

It starts at September 1st 2012 on left and ends at October 16th on the right, with a bar for each day that indicates what percentage of their users were running iOS6 on that day. The days are labeled terribly so none of the dates I'm about to give are exact.

From September 1st to around September 18th very few of their users ran iOS6. It's hard to tell because the graph is incredibly coarse but at most, 2% of their users were using iOS6. The graph points out that these were the beta testers.

The official launch is labeled, and on that day iOS6 adoption soars. On around September 21st, just a few days after the iOS6 launch, already 35% of their users were running iOS6. By September 25th, a little less than 50% were.

On October 2 the adoption rate jumps to the highest shown on the graph, a little under 70%. The next day it sinks down to 60%, and the next day it sinks back down to 52.5%.

For the last few weeks of data starting on October 6th, the adoption rate stays steady at around 55 or 57%.
