Just under three quarters of all iPads and iPhones are now
running iOS 7, according to the latest figures from Apple.
According to the latest figures on Apple’s developer
website, 74 per cent of iPads and iPhones are now running iOS 7.
It also revealed that 22 per cent of
Apple devices are running iOS 6, with the remaining four per cent running earlier versions of the operating system.
Apple devices are running iOS 6, with the remaining four per cent running earlier versions of the operating system.
There are a number of reasons why just over a quarter of
devices are running older versions of the operating system.
Some of the older devices themselves are not capable of
running the latest versions of iOS. The original iPad – for example – is stuck
on iOS 5.
In addition, the iPad’s success in breaking into business
means that a significant proportion of those may be undergoing further testing
before their IT departments allow them to be upgraded to iOS 7.
Despite that, iOS 7 has managed to become the fastest
adopted version of iOS yet. According to data from analytics firm Chikita, iOS
7 had already been installed by more than 50 per cent of iPad and iPhone users
in its first week.
The latest version of the operating system was greeted with
a mixed response when it was released in September. It was the biggest overhaul
to iOS since the introduction of the App Store in 2008.
It was also the first time that Apple has redesigned the
look and feel of the operating system since the launch of the original iPhone
in 2007.
The first major update to iOS 7 is expected in the coming
weeks. Apple released the beta version of iOS 7.1 to developers last month.
