Hi,
Yes, I'm pretty sure, or at least the last time I checked, most
android is still stuck on kitkat. As there are so many android
devices, and yet there are more of them than apple devices, they
run a range of software. It all depends on the manufacturer.
PS. My iPad is still proudly sitting on IOS9.3.5, by choice.

Subject: RE: Convince me guys IOS or no IOS
No, not all iPhones are running the same version of iOS, but it
is a fact that almost 80% of all iOS devices were running iOS 10
approx. 5 months after its release and if you take iOS 9 and iOS
10 together 95% of all iOS devices run those two latest versions
with only 5% running earlier versions.
Android doesn’t even get close to these numbers, it is just the
nature of the beast and one example where Apple’s control over
hardware, software and the eco system is a good thing. Apple
also told the large carriers right from day one that Apple will
be in charge of pushing out updates whereas many carriers are
responsible to do this for Android devices.
Here an article putting this into perspective:
iOS 10 Now Installed on Nearly 80% of Active iOS Devices
Wednesday February 22, 2017 6:18 am PST by Joe Rossignol
Just over five months after iOS 10 was released to the public,
the operating system is now installed on 79% of active iOS
devices, according to the latest adoption data shared by Apple.
iOS 9 remains installed on 16% of active iPhone, iPad, and iPod
touch devices, while 5% of devices are running an earlier iOS
version, as measured by the App Store on February 20.
iOS 10 adoption appears to be slightly outpacing iOS 9 adoption
over the same time period. iOS 9 adoption briefly stalled at 77%
of active devices last February.
iOS 10 could see further adoption when iOS 10.3, which is
currently in beta for developers and public testers, is
officially released. The software update's key new features
include "Find My AirPods" and a switch to the all-new Apple File
System (APFS).
iOS adoption continues to significantly outpace Android. Nougat,
the latest version of Android, is installed on just 1.2% of
active Android devices as of February 6, despite being released
six months ago today. Android Lollipop, released in November
2014, is still installed on 32.9% of active devices.
Apple's control over both hardware and software gives it an
advantage over the Android ecosystem, while Apple persistently
notifies iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users to update to the
latest iOS version, including offering the option to have the
software update install overnight while the device is plugged in.
Here some data from Google about Android. Spoiler: Nougat which
is the latest version of Android and which came out I think
before iOS 10 has just under 5% to the 79% ofo iOS 10.:
Gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.7: 0.9%
Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 to 4.0.4: 0.9%
Jelly Bean: 10.1% overall
4.1.x: 3.5%
4.2.x: 5.1%
4.3: 1.5%
KitKat 4.4: 20%
Lollipop: 32% overall
5.0: 9.0%
5.1: 23%
Marshmallow 6.0: 31.2%
Nougat: 4.9% overall
7.0: 4.5%
7.1: 0.4%
*The data above is from Google. It was collected during a
seven-day period ending on April 3, 2017. Any versions with less
than 0.1 percent distribution are not shown.
