The last version of iOS, the number 10, us has brought a great number of functions, mostly related with it application messages, but not exclusively, since the notifications have received also an important update so can interact with them of a form more comfortable and simple. Since the launch of the final version, last October, Apple has continued releasing different updates, adding new features and solving the typical problems of operation of some terminals were. However, seems that iOS 10 is carrying a rhythm more slow of adoption that its predecessor, iOS 9, according to the last data that has published Apple in its portal for developers.
Apple has updated the section intended to report on the adoption of iOS 10, showing how to November 27, the latest version of iOS is located in 63% of the supported devices, 7% less than iOS 9 in the same period of time. We don’t know if the fall in sales of the iPhone may have influenced this percentage (are becoming many fewer new models to the market) or if the users don’t see compelling reasons justifying an update to devices.
Many are them users that is expect a few months for update, for avoid have problems of operation of them new versions, something that usually occur very occasionally but that Apple solves quickly. Despite being an adoption 7 points lower than iOS 9, the latest version of iOS is still impressive if compared to the adoption of different versions of Android on the market, mainly due to device manufacturers.
On October 27, in the keynote that Apple introduced the new MacBook, Tim Cook said that iOS 10 was in 60% of the supported devices, so in just one month rose 3%, same percentage that has lowered iOS 9, which is still in many devices compatible with iOS 10.
The remaining 8%, until 100% of devices that regularly visit the App Store, method by which find out the rate of adoption, they are making use of previous versions. Between these devices safe that we find many iPhone 4 and 4s, although this last if it was compatible with iOS 9, but their performance left much to be desired, at least in earlier versions.
