Android M, or Android 6.0 Marshmallow, is in the process of rolling out to Android handsets in the U.S., but Google's mobile OS is trailing behind Apple's latest iOS 9.1 update in a big way.
Even with the bugs and problems reported with iOS 9, the latest mobile OS from Apple has hit a record level of adoption, while last year's Android 5.0 Lollipop is still rolling out at a fraction of Apple's upgrade rate.
