This year Apple has fulfilled what it always promises in the presentation of the new versions of the operating systems that it actively has on the market, since unlike in other years, the latest version of iOS it does not slow down older devices at any time.
While it is true that the problem of the slowdown was due to the management that the device does when the battery it is not in good condition, it was not always entirely to blame. Since iOS 12 is available, today it is already in 70% of compatible devices.
But also, if we take into account only the devices that have been sold in the last four years, that figure increases to 72%. It should be remembered that iOS 12 It is compatible with all devices, iPhone and iPad, that have a 64-bit processor insideThe iPhone 5s and iPad mini 2 being the oldest devices that have been fortunate enough to be updated to this version of iOS that has focused on improving the performance of the devices, since the number of new functions is not as striking as in previous years.
Last October, 60% of iOS 12 compatible devices had been updated to this version. If we take into account the devices sold by Apple during the last 4 years, this percentage increased by 3 points, reaching up to 63%.
Despite the fact that Android 8 introduced Android Project Treble, through which manufacturers only have to handle to adapt its graphical interface to the new version, Google taking care of the compatibility of the components, we continue to see how Android 9 follows the same path as previous versions, reaching a market share that barely exceeds 1% three months after its launch.
