I am working on a major feature update for my application and would love to include features such as iCloud, Core Data, ARC and storyboards among other things. The issue is that I don’t have data on how many users are still running 4.x. I realize that the ideal solution would be to support both at once and just select the available features based on what version the particular device was on, but my upgrades would be so substantial that this would be very difficult. Does anyone else have reliable data on the percentage of users on older versions? And also would it be advisable to release an iOS 5+ version of my app separately as an “App 2.0?”

80% on iOS5
With the OTA updates, Apple devices are normally upgraded very quickly. The decision to create an iOS5 only app early this year was not too hard to make and more so now.
