Apple has updated the iOS 8 adoption rate numbers on their iOS developer portal. It was at 60 percent on November 24th and has gone up 3 percent in two weeks. That is kind of a slow climb, but it’s still pretty good.
iOS 8 isn’t supported on iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4th gen and older, which could be one of the reasons why the adoption rate is climbing so slow. Another reason could be that the iOS 8 OTA update needs you to have around 2 GB of free space on your device. If you’re updating through iTunes, then the free space isn’t an issue. However, users usually update their iOS devices using OTA update, as it is much easier to do.
The adoption rate is measured using the App Store and it was 63 percent on the 8th of December. As seen in the chart below, iOS 7 is on 33 percent of devices and 4 percent of devices are still running iOS 6 and earlier versions.
Yesterday, Apple released iOS 8.1.2
to the public, a small update that included bug fixes. The iOS 8 adoption rate includes all versions till iOS 8.1.2.
