Ondrej Holzman Seven months after the release of iOS 8, this operating system is running on 81 percent of active devices. According to official data from the App Store, seventeen percent of users remain on iOS 7, and only two percent of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners who connect to the store use the older version of the system.
Still, iOS 8's numbers aren't as high as iOS 7's. According to MixPanel data, which differs from Apple's current numbers by just a few percentage points, iOS 7 adoption was around 91 percent at this time last year.
The slower adoption of iOS 8 was mainly due to the number of bugs that appeared in the system, especially in its early days, but Apple is gradually fixing everything and, especially in recent months, has released several minor updates to solve them.
In recent days, they could also force the Apple Watch to switch to iOS 8. You need at least iOS 8.2 to pair your iPhone with your Apple Watch.
there are already 2% of us :) I'm looking forward to it
If it were possible to downgrade to iOS 6, then those numbers would definitely look different... Or maybe not - Apple sheep have already gotten used to the amazingly brilliant and cool design of iOS 7 and 8...
