According to data from analytics company Mixpanel, adoption of iOS 8.4 reached a whopping 40 percent within just one week of its release. There is no doubt that the rapid adoption of the latest version of the operating system for the iPhone and iPad was caused by the arrival of the music service Apple Music. It is actually distributed as part of iOS 8.4.

So Apple can be very pleased with the public's interest in at least trying out Apple Music. In addition, the statistics are paradoxically spoiled a little by users who are already testing the beta version of iOS 9. There are several million of them, and it is clear that most of them will also be among those who like to try Apple Music.

Unfortunately, data on the use of individual iOS versions is published only by independent analytical companies such as Mixpanel, and official numbers directly from Apple are not available. It is not clear here how accurate such data are and whether they can be trusted 8%. When the Cupertino, California-based company last released official numbers, iOS 84 had 22% of users installed in various versions. However, this number was already valid on June XNUMX and may have increased again in the last month.
