iOS 7 update traffic

Thu Sep 19 17:23:11 UTC 2013

We also saw a huge spike in traffic. Still pretty high today as well.
We saw a ~60% above average hit yesterday, And we're at ~20-30% above 
average today as well.
Being an android user, It didn't dawn on me until some of the IOS users in 
the office started jumping up and down about IOS7

I see it here, too.  At its peak, our traffic levels were roughly double 
what we would see on a normal weekday.
