14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has finally updated its information about the adoption of the latest iOS 12 mobile operating system among iPhone, iPad, and iPod users.
Released eleven months ago, the iOS 12 mobile OS is now used on 88 percent of all supported iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices, as well as on 90 percent of all devices introduced in the last four years, according to Apple's App Store support page, while only 7 percent of all devices are still using iOS 11.
The last update was published at the end of May 2019, when Apple bragged that the adoption levels of iOS 12 is higher compared to the competition, as 85 percent of all iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices were running iOS 12, compared to only 10 percent adoption of the Android 9 Pie operating system.
The new data was measured by the App Store on August 6th, 2019, showing that iOS 12's adoption has grown with 5 percent in a little over two months. The statistics page also shows that only 3 percent of all iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices signed into the App Store are still running an earlier version of iOS.
iOS 13 will be released at the end of September 2019
90 percent adoption is a huge milestone for Apple's iOS mobile operating system, and we believe it will go even further than that in the coming months until the release of the next major version, iOS 13, later in September. However, this might be the last update published by Apple for iOS 12.
There might still be one or two minor maintenance updates released for iOS 12 until iOS 13 hits the streets next month, but nothing to sky-rocket its adoption levels. Meanwhile, Apple works hard on the iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 operating systems, as well as on macOS 10.15 Catalina, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13.
The latest beta versions are now available for testing, and iOS 13 promises exciting new features like a long-anticipated Dark Mode, powerful video and photo editing, audio sharing for AirPods, an all-new maps experience, a new Siri voice, and more privacy and security features.
