Ondrej Holzman The latest version of the iOS 8 mobile operating system is currently running on 47 percent of active devices that connect to the App Store. This is shown by Apple's official data valid as of October 5. In the past two weeks, only one percent of new users have installed iOS 8.
Data from two weeks ago showed that 8 percent switched to iOS 46 of active iPhones, iPads and iPod touches, then it was four days from the official release of iOS 8. At the moment, the share pie is divided evenly - 47% of devices run on iOS 8, 47% of devices on iOS 7. The remaining six percent of iOS devices then remain on older versions of the system.
We can only speculate as to what is behind the significant slowdown in adoption of the new iOS 8, which now lags behind last year's adoption of iOS 7, however, the likely reason is the numerous problems that the first versions of iOS 8 did not avoid.
First, he was forced by Apple just before launch download apps connected to HealthKit. He subsequently brought them back, however iOS 8.0.1 caused issues with signal drops and Touch ID not working. Finally until iOS 8.0.2 fixed the issues, but Apple earned negative publicity that may have deterred users from updating.
However, another and much more likely problem is the lack of free space on many iPhones and iPads. Especially those with a capacity of 16 GB (not to mention the 8 GB versions) report before installing iOS 8 that they do not have enough space to download and unpack the new system. Users are then forced to delete much of their data and apps unless they use iTunes instead of over-the-air updates. However, many, especially inexperienced users, do not know about the need to free up storage capacity, so they do not install iOS 8.
At the moment, it is no longer possible to go back to iOS 8 from iOS 7. At the end of September, Apple stopped supporting all versions of iOS 7, so even if you download an older version of the operating system, iTunes will not let you downgrade. Apple is currently working on iOS 8.1, where we will see some changes again.
Rather, there are a lot of sufficiently functional iPhone 4S and 5 out there, and it is not worth it for people to upgrade to a slower system if they will not use a large part of its new features..
you can just see the acceleration on the IP5 and you can use the same functions as on the 5S, that is, except for Touch ID, so I allow myself to disagree (I agree with the 4s :) )
similarly iPad mini, iPad 2 and iPad 3, which together make up 65% of all iPads and on which iOS 8 is still significantly slower than version 7
There is no problem with the eighth version on the iPhone 5.
And does the keyboard work correctly for you "lying down"? I have iP5 with ios 8.0.2. and the outermost "keys" don't work :/ And overall, it seems to me that the keyboard is now a bit too cute - as if it wanted to indicate to me that I can't aim. I used to write here quickly and without mistakes. Now I'm slowly correcting every word :/ And it's boring!
We mustn't forget the tens of millions of iPhone 4s that don't support iOS 8, this statistic significantly moves...
In the case of my iPad 3, the policy of disabling the "old" system is to blame - if I install it and find that the device doesn't work, I can't go back, thus invalidating it.
I don't want to risk it, so there will be no upgrade and my iPhone 5C version 8 has also expired..
Complete agreement.
The user would install a new system, if it did not suit him, he should be able to go back. If it suits him, he will stay on the new version.
As a result, the user would appreciate it and it would contribute to higher user satisfaction.
I don't understand why Apple is so against it and refuses to allow the downgrade. It is logical that the user prefers not to get involved.
Well, it's probably enough for Apple that a certain percentage of people switch to the new system, find out that it's quite difficult to use, and buy a new machine. I don't want to offend Apple, but I really can't think of another reason :(
I can think of one. They want to brag about the numbers of new system installations at conferences :)
From a developer's point of view, it is much better if the majority of users have one software for which the application is debugged, rather than 10 different OSes. From my point of view, Apple is pushing users to make sure that it is not spread out and that the user has a different version of the OS. As a result, this contributes to the stability and speed of the application, because the developer can better debug the application on 1-2 OS than on 10 OS version..
I understand that to a certain extent, but why do they allow for example iOS8 on the iPad3, if you can't use it there. I have iOS3 on my iPad 7 and even that is enough of a tragedy. I will definitely not put iOS8 there.
What OS version did you start with on the ipad3? 4? 5? And always online updates? Do a restore.
I started on iOS 5, skipped 6 and then put it up to 7 via recovery so that's not it. Sometimes Safari crashes and the like, so I'm not very happy. But I was forced to, otherwise a five would have been fine.
So try to reset the network .. it won't damage anything, only if you don't have a key fob you'll have to re-enter wifi passwords .. and hidden wifi
I'll try, but I think I'll switch to the iPad Air 2 when it's available :)
This is of course the better and more pleasant option :-)
Many people are waiting to upgrade mainly after the fiasco with 8.0.1/8.0.2.
I have 8.1 for testing and it looks much more stable - IMHO Apple will quickly skip iOS 8.0 as a version - GM Xcode 6.1 released last week also suggests this. We will see on the 15th, it will be decided there.
honestly, I was put off by the bugs and problems. I'm also waiting for yosemite to launch. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to me yet.
iOS8 is horribly bugged and for the fact that Yosemite is in the GM candidate version, it also has a lot of bugs. So I'm curious myself.
and yay. Before, I quite often operated by applying and installing the news right away. However, after experience, I prefer to be careful and wait at least a day. We'll see if the release of Yosemite will really be on 16.10. and what do you think :-)
Please no flame, but I use Yosemite on my home Air and I don't have any problems with it, what have you encountered?
I also have it on three computers and it works just fine, but sometimes a problem appears - it's true that mostly some small thing or graphic problems.
I have little things there, for example, sometimes the icons in the finder do not appear, sometimes when I wake up the macbook, only the mouse with a black background appears and I have to click it and open it again (Sometimes even 3 times in a row).
Strange, this has never happened to me on MBA 11″, and I've been using Yosemite for two months. The only thing I struggled with was the shorter duration in the first available version.
In general, I think that Yosemite is now well debugged and any criticism will only be directed at Apple, BUT I encountered one error - sometimes it takes longer to wake up than it is possible to move the cursor and write the password.
she smoked my coot mucus, greased with pre-ejaculatory fluid, a little sweat and a little urine, she smoked it so deeply that it scratched, at times she almost vomited, I grabbed her head with my hands and drove it deep into her skull, while she smoked me, he stuck his toe in my pussy and anus, alternately in my pussy and my ass, he also got a little shit in my pussy and they left me behind my toenail. She kept smoking my hot rod until I squirted it down her throat, my warm seed running out her nostrils and mouth. then I pissed him off...
So the biggest advantages of ios8 will only come with osX :)) I'm looking forward to that, the connection of systems, calls, sms, detailed emails, etc. It's not a significant change yet. Plus I don't want to delete the application for the installation package :D
I will upgrade to iOS 8 and then 8.02. Very unstable, everything crashes on my iPad mini. The iPad mini retina has slowed down even on the iPhone 5S, and apparently even until the release of Yosemite, synchronization with the computer is completely broken. It freezes streaming from iTunes, syncing with iCloud is unreliable, iWorks problematic without iCloud drive, Notes syncing randomly, keyboard freezing, rotating display freezing, non-functional notifications, notifications that crash a running application, for example a call, Wi-Fi connection dropping... Another company, in who hire top people for PR positions instead of people who will actually write and test the software. I admit that I have no experience with other brands, so maybe Apple is the one-eyed king among the blind, but it bothers me enough. Hopefully 8.1 will solve it. Yes, no one forced me to buy anything or upgrade anything, but Apple didn't tell me that my phone would start working unreliably after the upgrade. I find it not very fun to pay 800 Euros for the privilege of being an Apple tester.
Do a restore. you will be surprised how everything changes. And if you then have a problem with the battery, for example the operation and standby time are the same. Reset network settings. on iPad I'm down 2% all day, on iPhone 30%
I did a restore (after factory reset) from the backup from iCloud, the result was that the application started a little faster, but the last one remained and as a "bonus" my phone started to drain quite quickly on 3G and 4G and, I quote, "some applications could not be restored "
I did it through iTunes, and before that I was also there to back it up, even though I normally use iCloud. I had everything as before, only the problems disappeared
I did a DFU restore on several devices, but most of the problems did not disappear. And likewise, some applications did not recover, even though I transferred purchases and back app.
I will try the site reset
In my opinion, the biggest reason is the need for huge free space. My daughter has an IPAD and it's already full. He doesn't have a PC. The PostPC era is a bit lame..
Today, it makes no sense to buy a device with less capacity than 32 GB.
I wonder if the statistics don't include people who don't buy anything on the appstore and therefore probably never upgrade the system. I know three of them with an iPhone :)
As someone already wrote here, it is certainly also the case that there are a large number of people with an iPhone 4 that does not support iOS 8. I personally switched to 8 quite quickly and at first I didn't have any problem, except that 3G internet eats my battery horribly (and I can't turn on Edge anymore, which annoys me). But isn't that the only problem iOS 8 is giving me with the iPhone 5 battery? It happens to me that my phone turns off and pretends to be dead, but when I put it on the charger it shows that the battery still has juice. It happened to me a few days ago, the battery was at 50%, I took 3 photos with the flash, I wanted to look at them and the phone "drained". I also tend to freeze, sometimes the screen goes black or the keyboard doesn't respond. I haven't had any problems so far, but the last few days I've been cursing a lot. If 8.1 doesn't fix it, Apple will have a black mark with me...
Considering the number of people complaining about iOS8, I'm starting to feel that there is some super unique version on my iP5S because I don't have a single problem that anyone has ever described... :-) like sometimes I find something that seems unfinished, but I really don't have these megabugs...
Philogus->> didn't carry it even in the 7th
What went wrong? If it's Edge, I've never had a problem with it. If it was a draining of the battery, that's fine too, it's just very rarely happened to me that the phone restarted by itself.
What are we going to talk about, I've been driving since iOS 4 and none of the previous versions had as many bugs as now 8. They finally solved Spotlight, but there are still quite a few.
I have a 6 for 4s and I'm cool :)
I installed iOS 8 on a 4S and my phone is totally slow and apps are crashing. Sometimes it "bites" completely and I have to restart (quite often, even 2 times a day). Although I checked the possibility of installation on 4S, I should have stayed with 7. Or do I have some wrong settings? Please, give me an advice … :-)
It was thanks to the updates that I switched to another OS. I had an iPhone 3 and after about two years an update came out that totally slowed down my phone. So I bought an iPhone 4. After about two years again, an update came out, which slowed down my phone again. It will probably continue like this. Apple will not see any more money from me. Now I have cheap lumii and satisfaction. ..
..because it's shit.. there's no other reason. It doesn't even work properly on the 5s, it's better not to talk about older models and the iPad
