iOS 9 Adoption Jumps to 66 Percent After iOS 9.1 Emoji Update

Since launching in September alongside the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iOS 9 has seen its adoption rate grow to 66 percent of active iOS devices, according to numbers on the Apple Developer Support page (https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/). Two weeks ago, iOS 9 adoption sat at 61 percent.

However, in late September Apple announced that the newest version of iOS had the fastest adoption ever (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/21/apple-ios-9-50-percent/) and was on pace to be downloaded by more users than any other version of the mobile operating system. iOS 8 only achieved a 64 percent adoption rate by December 23 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/01/07/ios-8-68-percent/) and a 68 percent adoption rate by January 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/01/07/ios-8-68-percent/), ending up with a high of 87 percent (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/15/ios8-adoption-pre-ios9/) on the eve of iOS 9's launch.





Apple released (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/21/apple-releases-ios-9-1/) the first major update to iOS 9 two weeks ago with iOS 9.1, which featured a slew of brand-new emojis. Since that update, iOS 9 adoption has grown by 5 percent. Earlier today Apple seeded (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/11/03/apple-seeds-second-ios-9-2-beta-to-developers/) the second beta for iOS 9.2, the second major update to its newest mobile operating system.
