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.
