iOS 8 adoption figures continue to creep upwards. According to the latest figures released by Apple, 60 percent of active devices are now running the latest version of the company’s mobile operating system. By comparison, 35 percent of users are running iOS 7, while 5 percent are using earlier versions.
Apple last measured iOS 8 usage through the App Store two weeks earlier, on November 10. At that time, 56 percent of users had upgraded to iOS 8. While there’s still a long way before iOS 8 adoption catches up with where iOS 7 numbers were after the same period last year, the gap is starting to narrow.
In December 2013, iOS 7 was stealing 1 percentage point away from iOS 6 every seven days. Meanwhile iOS 8 is increasing by around 2 percent each week, and has been for some time now.
The increase is likely related to continued high sales of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus — which are predicted to sell a massive 71.5 million units over the holidays — plus the hyped Apple Pay feature, and upgrades which make the OS more usable on older model iOS devices.
