Apple released the latest statistics on the number of users of iOS 8. The new operating system is now installed on 77% of the devices, the company said. For two weeks the proportion of the mobile platform has increased by 2% .
Adapting the latest OS has taken a longer time than the adaptation of the previous version - iOS 7. To achieve the target of 77% iOS 8 took about six months. The share of iOS 7 was reduced to 20%.
Low prevalence of "eight" was recorded last year bystanders, and later confirmed by Apple.
It's hard to say for sure which factors influenced so slow the speed of propagation of the new system. Many users have reported a large number of defects in the first release. Others did not like the stability of the OS. A common complaint - the size of the update, it takes about 5 GB of free space.
Worth noting that the achievement level of three-fourths of devices for six months - a slow speed only by the standards of the company from Cupertino. For any other manufacturer is an impressive figure.
It is expected that application developers are now more willing to take advantage of iOS 8 in their products.
