But to be fair, everyone gets a cheap phone every two years, so what's 1% today will be 100% in two years. Remember, the G1 is three-ish years old, and it's mostly gone now. The Nexus One was released on January 5, 2010, and so only the earliest of early adopters (with a standard contract) are just now gaining the ability to upgrade.

Two years is a long time, but if IE 6 went away after two years, we wouldn't even remember that it was once a thing :)



I agree in general but IE6 was out for five years before IE7 came out, so it may not be the best example.

Of course, that was because they disbanded the browser team after crushing Netscape.
