Exactly! If they really wanted to measure real adoption, they would allow us to downgrade to older versions of the iOS software, and THEN they should try measuring the “adoption.”

Yeah because there’s no way to go back down once you accidentally update to 12, so it’s a forced update. Of course it’s going to grow over time
