Most of us, when we think of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, probably fixate on the stereotype of him as a detail-obsessed quasi-workaholic, whose near-mania when it came to the seemingly tiniest details brought about world-changing products like the iPhone and helped Apple became the most valuable company in the world.

Focused largely on her wellness coaching practice, she also sprinkles the book with nuggets about the mercurial Apple chief executive who prodded Apple to generate a string of hit products like the Mac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, who was known for melting down when employees didn’t live up to his standards — and who seems to also have put a premium on quiet time, where he could take a mental break, uninterrupted by the demands of being a CEO.

Every year, the new version of iOS is rolled out by Apple, and every year, the latest update immediately becomes available for every modern iPhone on the market.

Meanwhile, even though Android 11 launched before iOS 14 last year, we still aren't sure how many Android device owners have actually installed the update.

Here's what the official Android distribution dashboard says: Thank you for your patience.

We're working to improve the insights we provide to you about the Android ecosystem and the ways we're accelerating updates to Android devices, such as through Project Treble, the Android Beta program, security updates and more

The best data I could find on Statcounter suggests that around 40% of Android users are still running Android 10, nearly 20% are running Android 9, close to 14% are still on either Android 8 or Android 8.1, and there are a significant number of users running software versions even older than that

As the Android team expresses in the message above, there are efforts being made to mitigate the mobile operating system's issues with fragmentation, a vast majority of Android users aren't on the latest version seven months after it was made available

This contrast between the two operating systems will never be any less striking to me, but with so many devices running so many different versions of Android, the two are never going to reach parity

In the meantime, Apple's last official update on distribution came in February, as the company confirmed that 86% of Apple devices released in the last four years were running iOS 14, and 80% of all Apple devices in the wild had updated to iOS 14

Apple device owners who have installed iOS 14 are about to receive another major update when iOS 14.5 rolls out later this spring

The Sonos Roam is a slim, light, $170 speaker that competes directly with Bluetooth-enabled devices like the Ultimate Ears Boom and Megaboom options
