This document summarizes mobile device and operating system trends from September 2014. The iPhone 5 and various Android smartphones generated the most mobile web traffic. The iPhone accounted for a larger percentage of traffic than Samsung devices. Most mobile websites were accessed using the Android operating system and Apple's iOS. There are thousands of unique device, browser, and operating system combinations demonstrating the high level of mobile fragmentation.

Browser Support & Device Recommendations – 2015 4Q
The latest Device and Browser Support updates, courtesy of MCD Partners.
Browser support recommendations for desktop and mobile browsers are constantly changing and close attention should be paid to updates as the slightest change can significantly impact user experience. On a quarterly basis, MCD Partners tracks the use of stable releases of browsers, operating systems, and devices for the general U.S. population, identifying the current share of the user base and potential velocity for large-scale adoption of new and obsolesce of old platforms.
The device and browser support recommendations outlined in this report are based on the general U.S. consumer market; with a couple of noted exceptions. An individual project’s browser support requirements should be identified based on measurement analytics for the target site and inform the design and development specifications throughout the project.
Browser Support:
The recommendation changes for this report include:
Drop support for versions of IE prior to IE 11.
Add full support of Firefox 42 and Firefox 43 to Win XP, Win 7, Win 8.1, Mac 10.10 and Mac 10.11.
Drop support for versions of Firefox prior to version 42.
Add full support of Chrome 46 and Chrome 47 to Win XP, Win 7, Win 8.1 Mac 10.10 and Mac 10.11.
