Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), released iOS 11 on Tuesday night available for download to anyone with a compatible device. We covered the release in this article, where you can find the entire changelog and some basic information. As every year, this year too the first 24 hours from the release were monitored to record the statistics of how many users switched to the new operating system. And although iOS 11 is really packed with features, in the first twenty-four hours it performed worse than its predecessor last year.

In the first 24 hours after launch, the iOS 11 operating system was installed on 10,01% of active iOS devices. This is a significant reduction from last year. iOS 10 managed to reach 14,45% of all devices in the same period. Even the two-year-old iOS 9 fared better, reaching 24% in the first 12,6 hours.

This figure is indeed interesting, as Tuesday's release was not accompanied by any problems that we can remember from last year. The entire update went without the slightest problem. One explanation why iOS 11 is not doing so well could be the fact that the new operating system does not support 32-bit applications. After updating to a new version of the system, users will have them on their phone, but they cannot run them, because iOS 11 does not contain the 32-bit libraries that are needed to run such applications.

It can be expected that the next big jump in installations will happen over the weekend, when people will find some time to do it, and they will have peace of mind. Another statistic, measuring the "adoption rate", will appear next week on Tuesday. That is, a week since Apple made iOS 11 available to the public. We'll see if the newcomer manages to reach last year's values.
