The Developer page ofApple has been updated this week with a chart that shows – 85 percent of
iOS devices are running the iOS 7. The chart has been measured by the App store
during a 7 day period that ended on 23rd of March. While in the December
last year the iOS 7 was running on 74 percent of all iOS devices.
In September 2013 the iOS 7 began its colorful
journey along with the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Even though the iPhone 5C
wasn’t sold too much and even 3million unsold iPhone 5c models are still resting on the shelves of Carriersand retailers, iPhone 5S is a grand hit and Apple sold millions of iPhone 5S
models which is preloaded with iOS 7 that helped iOS 7 to gain this huge
adoption rate so fast.
As usual this fast adoption rate of iOS 7 means declining
of iOS 6 in a fast pace. In the last 4 months alone the usage of iOS 6 has gone
down to 12% from 24% and it seems iOS 7 is showing the fastest and highest
adoption rate than any other previous major iOS release.
Now when it comes to comparison between adoptionrate of iOS 7 and Android 4.4 Kitkat, in December last year only 1.1
percent of Android Smartphones were found to be running the latest version of
Android and after 4 months still only 2.5 percent of Android devices are
running Android Kitkat, while majority of Android Smartphones are running on
Jelly Bean (v4.1.x to v4.3) that was initially launched in July 2012, even
there are still close to 20 percent of Android devices are running Android
Gingerbread (v2.3.3 to v2.3.7). That was released on December 2010.
