A few days ago, we echoed a news story stating that according to TowerSense data, iOS 12 were already found in 50% of devices compatible with iOS 12. Although it is true that the data that has always provided this company have not been far from reality, These data were yet to be confirmed through the Cupertino-based company.
And so it has been. Apple has published on the developer portal the adoption data as of October 10, 2018 and where we can see how iOS 12 is already on 50% of supported devices, while iOS 11 still found it at 39% and previous iOS versions still represent 11% of the total active devices.
The first iOS 12 adoption figures showed us how users were wary of updating their terminal to the new version of iOS, because traditionally each new version, slowed down older devices, something that fortunately has not happened with iOS 12. Quite the opposite. With iOS 12, older devices, such as the iPhone 5s and the iPad Mini 2, have once again become a device that can be used normally, without suffering lags, crashes and others that they showed with iOS 11.
Once users have seen as Apple if you have focused on the performance of this new version, There have been many undecided users who have chosen to update, making iOS 12 one of the versions that has reached 50% of installations the fastest in recent years, as we can see in the following classification:
- iOS 8 reached 56% on November 11, 2014
- iOS 9 reached 61% adoption on October 19, 2015
- iOS 1st It was found in 54% of supported devices on October 11, 2016
- iOS 11 It did not reach 52% of compatible devices until November 11.
A few days ago, the Cupertino-based company closed downgrade to iOS 12 compatible devices, so that we can no longer downgrade if the twelfth version of iOS is giving us problems or we just don't like it.
