David Hanak In about a month, the September keynote will take place, where Apple will introduce new iPhones and possibly some new iPads. In addition to new hardware, this conference also marks the arrival of new versions of all operating systems. iOS 13 will arrive sometime in September, and its predecessor, at the end of its life cycle, reached a prevalence of 88% among active iOS devices.

Dan Pražák The new data was published by Apple itself, at your website regarding support for the App Store. As of this week, iOS 12 has been installed on 88% of all active iOS devices, from iPhones, iPads to iPod Touches. The rate of expansion of the current operating system thus still exceeds last year's version, which was installed on 85% of all active iOS devices in the first week of September last year.
Additional information from other sources says that the previous iOS 11 is installed on roughly 7% of all active iOS devices, while the remaining 5% works on one of the older versions. In this case, it is primarily about devices that are no longer compatible with new operating systems, but people still use them.
Throughout its life cycle, iOS 12 has outperformed its predecessor in terms of adoption. However, this is not too surprising given that the release and subsequent life of iOS 11 was accompanied by many technical and software problems. For example, there was a lot of talk about the case regarding the slowing down of iPhones, etc.
At the moment, iOS 12 is slowly getting dark, because in a month or so the successor will arrive, in the form of iOS 13, or iPadOS. However, owners of the still popular iPhone 6, iPad Air 1st generation and iPad Mini 3rd generation will be able to forget about them.
