After One Year, iOS 4 Dominates 95% of iPhones

As we prepare to welcome iOS 5 to our devices, a look back finds iOS 4 is used by nearly all iPhones just a year after its release. Unveiled a year ago for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G, iOS 4 is on 95.59 percent of Apple handsets, an advertising firm announced Wednesday.


The results aren’t too surprising, given 90 percent of iPhone users adopted iOS 4 just six months after the update was released.

Just 4.22 percent on using iOS 3, presumably original iPhone owners who were left out of the iOS 4 upgrade. An even smaller portion — 0.17 percent — of iPhone users still have iOS 2 installed.

The findings come from German advertising bureau Apprupt.

Any hold outs out there? Anyone still rocking iOS 3.1.3… or *gasp* even lower? Show your badges of pride in the comments.
