Title: Three theories why iOS 8 adoption is slow on the uptake Post by: HCK on October 08, 2014, 03:00:26 am Three theories why iOS 8 adoption is slow on the uptake
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Nearly three weeks after Apple rolled out its latest mobile operating system, the company says less than half of visits to its App Store come from devices with iOS 8 installed. Just 47 percent have upgraded, while 47 percent are still running iOS 7 (and 6 percent are clinging to even earlier versions). These figures are unusual: Apple’s OS adoption rate is famously fast. So why are people holding on to iOS 7?</p><p> At first, the rate of iOS installs skyrocketed (http://www.macworld.com/article/2687139/ios-8-adoption-nears-50-percent-after-just-6-days.html) —up to 46 percent in just six days. In the next two weeks, that number ticked up just 1 percent. iOS 8 still has time to challenge iOS 7’s adoption rate, which hit 75 percent after three months and became Apple’s fastest-growing mobile OS (http://www.macworld.com/article/2070250/ios-7-is-apples-fastest-growing-mobile-operating-system.html), but it seems like slow going so far.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2692561/three-theories-why-ios-8-adoption-is-slow-on-the-uptake.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Three theories why iOS 8 adoption is slow on the uptake (http://www.macworld.com/article/2692561/three-theories-why-ios-8-adoption-is-slow-on-the-uptake.html#tk.rss_all) |
