Ondrej Holzman Three weeks after its introduction, the latest iOS 9 operating system for iPhones and iPads is already installed on 57 percent of devices that connect to the App Store. In two weeks, iOS 9 gained another seven percentage points.
As of October 5, according to Apple's statistics, iOS 33 was still installed on 8% of active devices, and only 10% were using even older versions of iOS. But the mentioned 57% is a good performance for iOS 9, since last year, for example, iOS 8 took almost six weeks to cross the 50 percent mark.
In addition, iOS 9 managed to surpass it not after three, but after a week, when Apple announced the rocket launch new system and its record adoption.
iOS 9, after major changes especially in iOS 7, which were still partly continued in iOS 8, mainly brought improvements to the running of the system and its stability, so users did not have to worry about major problems after the update.
Allow return to 6th and show percentages :):):)
result 9.0.2/4S mail crashes, facebook doesn't work, the battery is 3 hours weaker, opening the application plus a second or two more, crap crap crap and... that's it.
For all devices under 5s, going back to 6 would be an instant jump in speed and stability!
1. iPhone 4S? The phone is more than 4 years old, I don't understand how you expect miracles from it Oh, and why did you put it there anyway???
2. allow a return to 6? OK, you should be fine with a 4-year-old phone, but everyone else shouldn't. Why? The percentage of old iOS would immediately go up and the developers would have to support 4 year old phones again, which would mean that people who have 6/6S would not get the latest things because it would be a lot of work to support outdated phones. We already need support for quite old devices, and I can't use the 6S to the full, since it's better for developers to support 99% of devices
3. Wasn't it possible to buy a new phone in 4 years? After all, you definitely have a flat rate or something similar, or you could take a flat rate phone twice in 4 years. Let's say that not everyone has unnecessary money for new phones (I don't either), so you could take a cheap phone twice and sell it straight away, otherwise you would have money for a new IP without any problems
It's not about what kind of phone Adam has, if Apple supports it, it should work, period.
PS: it was also absolutely terrible on my 6, Mapy.cz froze, not even the home button worked, it only helped to turn off the display after restarting the application, it crashed, the camera subjectively got a lot worse, switching applications is unergonomic... I'm just staying with 8.4, which I still managed to downgrade to, and I'll wait for ip7
I have the impression that all the talk about stability and robustness was on purpose to psychologically suggest it to ourselves...
it's stupid if they claim that it's so super mega optimal that they can easily set it to 4s and it will completely destroy a person's phone....
– Mapy.cz, if it is an application, it is not an iOS problem
– yes, iOS9.0 was not quite right, but as you can see, you didn't even have time to download and there were 2 updates, and as I wrote above, 9.1 is much more stable (and I have a 5S)
– every iOS in the basic version X.0 is not completely 100%, but they will fix it later. Also iOS8.0 had bugs and now 8.4 is 99.9% satisfaction
– ok, so the choice is either to support old phones or not to support them. Either way, I'll download people like Adam to one or the other and I bet he didn't even try to restore
– I think that supporting a 4-year-old phone with the fact that it is a second/two slower is a win-win on all fronts
– any other phone will end your support and you won't even be able to shorten it + applications are also incompatible = is this better?
– if they made iOS9 on 4S so that it went as fast as 4 years ago, they would completely stop the progress of a few people
Topanka claims that the impossibility of returning to the 6 is fine is a pretty delusion. If I could have it there months ago, why can't I now, and I consider 9 to be a worse version.
Moreover, it is an arbitrary decision by Apple. not a hardware problem. only and only about politics.
The fact that I have a 4-year-old phone is my business, isn't it? I also have a 4-year-old Macpro, should I replace it too? The TV is 10 years old - shall we throw it away??? If I write from an old device, I'll do it badly - I won't use it, if I write it will work great - I'll use it. It's getting better and better! It is impossible to go back and that is a betrayal.
No one is asking for support, you're wrong, I'm asking for a return option. Are you sure I didn't try to restore? So what did you decide to bet on? So you have no idea about people like Adam...
so read what I'm talking about, only and only the possibility of returning to a system that went without problems.
cit" - if they made iOS9 on 4S so that it would go as fast as 4 years ago, they would completely stop the progress of even a few people" - that's what the app claimed!
If they were to update the software on your car and you could only drive 140 on the highway at 90, you would certainly not share this opinion. If the turn signal doesn't work for you /like me, Facebook will decide if you don't go for a new model, but you will be the first to curse.
Of course it's fine. This is exactly what Android has problems with and it is one of the reasons why it is second-rate for developers. We don't need a mess of battery with adnroid for a couple of people who use 4-year-old phones, so YES, time is moving forward and if you want to use the OS from 2015 on a 4-year-old device, you have to bet that it won't be like the 6S sak logic.
Yes, it is a decision by Apple and it is correct. This is how I make the work of developers easier.
Of course, it's your business, but don't expect your phone to miraculously become impossible, wake up! You know, I'm not saying that you have to change it, if that's enough for you, you should have left iOS7 there and not worry about the slowness of the phone. I'm not saying that you should change the MacPro, and please tell me how your Mac Pro is doing the same as it was 4 years ago when you put Kapitan on it :D You don't have to throw away the TV, but you certainly don't expect that a 10-year-old TV will display 4k video, or hey?
If there is a problem with 4S, it is certainly being written about all over the internet and you could read it and not mindlessly update outdated technology. NOWHERE did apple say that it will miraculously improve your 4S, only that there is support for your 4-year-old phone, and you can't get that ANYWHERE ELSE. And since the first iPhone, the last one supported by iOS ran only so-so, so this has been known for a long time.
OK, you tried restore, I was wrong, sorry. At least next time you will know that you need to wait for experience and not install iOS4 on the 10Ska on the first day.
I read what you wrote and I explained to you why reverting to the old iOS is crap for progress, developers, people with new iPs, for Apple, etc., etc.
Are you comparing phones to cars? Seriously? What car got an "update" that reduced its speed?
BTW, the Facebook app is Facebook's mess - I'm also having trouble with the app, and FB wrote that it would be fixed "soon"
but I know what it will be like when I have 6, I can't decide to just go back to it. nobody demands that they make apps for the 6th today, only you have the feeling that I'm writing this. you read what is not written. :) . no one requires newer applications to work :) the old ones work, but you probably have no idea about it. Life with a 6 is a luxury these days, not with a 7 but with a 6! In particular, there is an article where it is written about version percentages, I claim that even if the 6 is unlocked, 10% is 15%. If you consider those 10 to XX% of customers to be unimportant, I wish you good business :) because these are the people I will change in the next time.
I think it works in such a way that if you have already updated the applications, you can no longer download the old versions, so it probably won't work much for you. In any case, when you change it for a new one in the future, you will be glad that it is the way it is.
After all, 4 years is very high-quality support, even if the 4 years are already "ligging"
you think but I know, here is the basic difference :)
it's only about the possibility to load the old IOS, you can work on it, you can't go back to it. Whether the applications are updated or not is irrelevant because it is not possible to go back.
OK let's leave it at that. For applications that I am interested in/test/use, I see forums full of people complaining that there is no support for iOS6. Now you say that it doesn't bother you, and with the next article "why isn't app xyz on iOS6 too"
I have to stand up for Adam. No one here wants new applications from iOS 6 to run on iOS 9. On the contrary, it would be enough for me that the applications from the 6 that I bought also run on 8. Why did Apple not only update me (which I actually did myself, nothing from cut off my way back) devalued my not-so-cheap device, but made it impossible for me to use the software that, by coincidence, I bought from her precisely because of the functionality, which I was satisfied with compared to the functionality of the new system. The fact that they don't allow you to return the device to the state in which you bought it (because it worked the way it did) is simply a scam. And boasting about it in statistics is dementia of the highest caliber. Anyway, I now know that my next phone will not be an iPhone even by chance. And I had almost all of them.
1. that's the problem of the developer of that application because he didn't update it, not Apple. BTW what is this app?
2. SINCE ALWAYS it works like this, it will not be possible to downgrade to ultra old versions over time, so you did it yourself, didn't you?
3. everyone has a choice, if you don't like one, go to the other, but the fact is that you have support elsewhere, maybe half the time, and I'm not even talking about application compatibility
Yes, it's a developer's problem, which is the same as with their systems. It's Apple's iPhoto. Yes, he charged me Photos as a replacement, but it's not a replacement.
In other words, it works like in operating systems. Downgrading to the purchased version is always possible. iOS is an operating system like any other.
Yes, I did it myself by upgrading to iOS 7, when Apple somehow kept silent about the fact that the downgrade is allowed for about 14 days and then it's over.
I have a choice. I already had Apple support to try that way with an iMac, and I can assure you that if there was none, it would have been the same, with zero added value. At least in our regions.
I have no idea what you mean by app compatibility. If it's supposed to be a function that loads the photos I took with that device, or others on Photostream, in Pages, I'm already having a problem getting some other one there, without first having to copy it to the library, where it will be there just so it's there and it could take up space even on the last devices. I think I can do without such compatibility.
Apple is no longer what I was used to. I don't understand its mainstream orientation and the functions it adds are worthless to me. Of course, we all have a choice, but it is an argument that closes the discussion when we run out of arguments.
Above all, until now iOS7 and 8 were great and now SUDDENLY you want to go to iOS6? 3 versions behind? How about iOS5? I really don't understand
I also don't understand why you're shaking OS X applications, and I was talking about iOS and then the other mobile operating systems.
It's not that there aren't arguments, but you obviously don't like Apple products, so why not sell them (at cool prices BTW) and buy Microsoft, Linux or Google versions of those products (at much lower prices :D). I think this is a win win right?
please don't mix win here, it has nothing to do with it. it is only an incomprehensible arbitrary decision of the manufacturer that is not based on any HDW requirement. the reality was that with ios 7 they had a high percentage of returns to 6! if it were possible, the graph above looks different, we both know it. that's why it warmed up. we like the company just as much and we have things going on with it, but you can't expect it to be blindsided. In addition, there are people among us who have been on the apple for many years, with what the word "long" means. we see long-term changes and we really don't have to like it, the impossibility of choosing an operator is something against our logic, believe me.
Exactly!
enough already please! it's a 4 year old OS! Buy the stupid 4sko somewhere with iOS6 and stay where you want
It doesn't matter that it's 4 years old. Adam is right. What's going on? In the past, there was a case about Jailbreak and they lost. They would lose just as well now.
I never wrote that... I always wrote that iOS 6 was great... iOS 7 was already expensive and I didn't install iOS 8 anywhere. We talk to Adam only about the same thing. That we should be able to return to the iOS with which we bought the device. We don't want any more support, no new apps, no new features. You're the only one putting all this on us. We want to be able to go to iOS 6 as it was and operate the device with its current functions and applications. That's all. Is it hard to understand? Would it really burden the developers so much that we would use old software on old devices?
I have an entire company on Apple, and over the past twenty years, I've bought dozens of computers and other devices and spent several million on them. It always brought me something and I always had the feeling of a good investment and well spent money.
That's why I didn't sell it and that's why I carried on Linux.
In the last two years, that feeling has disappeared. Apple is not what it used to be for a long time, but then it is still the one-eyed king among the blind. Yet.
In any case, with each subsequent version, the conflict between him and the competition, and the benefits that only he offers and have any value for me, unfortunately diminishes.
I don't want to put Win 7 on a new laptop, that's another one of your wrong deductions. I want to be able to run Win 7 on the old laptop with which I bought it. On the new one, I will also want Win 10 with which I will buy it.
Why are you arguing here? Do you want the OS you got? So don't update it right? You always updated it so you wanted new features! You're...shitting your ass. Ask a developer what it's like to struggle with iOS6 in 2015 and then talk about millions
I purposely bought my wife 4 with iOS 6 because she couldn't breathe sevens. Apple's policy is that they intentionally cut iMessage, Find Friends, and other Apple apps to FORCE people to switch. I will not buy a new one on purpose to spoil their numbers that they like to get away with so much. And my wife runs the same software on it as on my 5S with 8.4.1. I'm not going to upgrade anymore. Not because of iOS but because of iTunes with fucking Apple Music. I don't know what's so stupid about choosing the iOS version I want and like? To me, developers are free, if they could see what the cake is with which system, then it is up to them if they will develop applications for older iOS as well.
Look on the forums on purpose how many people have problems with 9 and broken phones or crashing apps. Where is the stability and speed of the nine?
What's so good about the new one that everyone has to have it and almost mandatory?
what I wrote in another article was about the fact that the ios6 app exists, but in reality it just makes it unavailable. not everyone beware!
if you read my responses, you will see that I have several devices on my desk that are in the test and run several versions on them
Topanka: I'm not defending Adam, you're quite right, but I have to respond to the Mac Pro. I have a Mac Pro from 2008. model 3.1 and it runs both out of the box and with Captain. Sure, it doesn't have Handhof, Air Drop (Air Drop can be enabled via the terminal), etc. Unimportant for me, but as a production machine for video editing, it gives a lot more to machines born later.
Of course, it works like clockwork, mine is the same, for those who don't have to go to SSD even without changing the RAM, it works like the beginning. That's the difference between knowing and assuming. If I were to draw a parallel, if it was not possible to get used to the older OSX when the newer machine freezes, the same thing would happen to me, see the example with the car.
"goes like a slingshot"
"who doesn't need an SSD"
:D end
I see that you have a problem with practice. The streams we do today are completely different than they were a few years ago, that's why we're switching to SSD, it's not about an operating system or another hdw. everything works fine on old and new OSX. we just increased the loads on the disks so that we can do higher flow, ok?
It also occurred to me that the MacPro is like a nuclear power plant and it won't read it there. I have an Air 11" that is about 1 years old and I think that if I put a Snow Leopard there (I think it was there) it will definitely go faster, but I won't expect the Kapitan to go like you on the Pro, even if it works great and I'll wait 2/XNUMX second to open the app :)
BTW why can't you Handoff? Isn't it just about BT4.0?
BTW, half of the application doesn't even support iOS6 anymore, so another problem would arise for you that you can't even install some of them/they don't work - is this what you want?
My ip6 crashes twice a day and I have to hard restart it. The battery doesn't last anyway and how many times do I leave the power saving mode on after fully charging.
I would try to restore, but wait for iOS9.1, the delay is already fixed there.)
When there is Airplay support in XBMC for iOS9, I might even upgrade...
