Ondrej Holzman For the first time in the new year, Apple shared data regarding the use of its latest mobile operating system iOS 8. As of January 5, according to data measured in the App Store, 68 percent of active devices used it, last year's iOS 7 continues to be used by 29 percent of devices.
Compared to the last measurement which took place in December, that's an increase of five percentage points. After the initial problems with the octal system, it is certainly good news for Apple that its adoption continues to grow, however, compared to iOS 7, the numbers are noticeably worse.
According to analytics firm Mixpanel, which practically coincides with the latest numbers from Apple, a year ago was running iOS 7 on more than 83 percent of active devices, which is about thirteen percentage points higher than the number currently achieved by iOS 8.
The worst problems in iOS 8 should hopefully be ironed out by now, and although Apple's latest operating system for iPhones, iPads and iPod touches is definitely not flawless, users who haven't updated yet should start to lose their shyness. However, it is not clear how quickly iOS 8 will reach last year's numbers of its predecessor.
do you recognize only 4%? :) how many are there whose older devices have slowed down in a completely functional way? or how to get a still functional thing off the market...
the current will be 4% :)))
Cook should give us a gift in the form of Facetime reconnection on iOS6 :)))
and the possibility to download old versions of programs that are increasingly disappearing from the app store... it's a big piece of crap to download the disease to your version of the app
I would be interested in this, can you give some more info?
I meant that this is crap, I'll cut off your hardware from old apps that otherwise work normally, that is, what you manage to download you can keep working and what you can't manage you can't. Now I bought something from garmin but it doesn't work with the phone anymore because I don't put any IOS version app there. on a friend's IOS6, the old app works fine, he was just lucky that he downloaded it when it was available. it's spin. let me like apple as much as I want, I don't see a reason to throw away something that works just because I don't want to slow it down with ios8mic
so that's crazy... I still have iOS4 on my iPad 4 and iPhone 6S and I keep a local backup application, but so far it hasn't happened to me that I can't download something I had before and accidentally deleted... thanks for the warning!
101%?
Rounding.
If it were possible to downgrade to iOS 6, the numbers would definitely look different.
