This is according to Chitika Insights, based on traffic seen on its worldwide mobile ad network, which boasts hundreds of millions of ad impressions.

Adoption of iOS 6 wasn’t all smooth, with a host of users reporting assorted WiFi glitches and, of course, the Apple Maps fiasco.

But iOS 6 is expected to become even more widely used once Apple announces its expected iPad mini tablet this week. Chitika foresees iOS 6 reaching the 70% mark before long.
