The number of iOS devices running iOS 8 is slowly, slowly, slowly creeping upward, finally crossing the 70 percent mark this week. Apple reported Tuesday (https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/) that 72 percent of devices are using iOS 8 as of Feb. 2.</p><p>

It’s a solid chunk of devices, but considering that Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones over the holidays (http://www.macworld.com/article/2876245/the-6-things-you-need-to-know-about-apples-best-quarter-ever.html)—all of which run the latest OS—the slow adoption rate is still surprising. One culprit: The size of iOS 8, which prevented a slew of 16GB iPhone owners from upgrading in the early days after launch. Apple is even facing a lawsuit (http://www.macworld.com/article/2863911/apple-faces-dumb-lawsuit-over-the-size-of-ios-8.html) over the size of iOS 8, with two plaintiffs complaining that 16GB iPhones and iPads don’t actually have that much available storage.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2879210/even-after-all-those-iphones-sold-ios-8-adoption-is-just-above-70-percent.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
