Apple's App Store Usage Numbers Suggest 46% Adoption Rate for iOS 8

Roughly a week after its initial release, iOS 8 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-8/) is now installed on 46% of devices connected to the App Store, according to the latest numbers posted on Apple's App Store developer support page (https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/) (via iClarified (http://www.iclarified.com/44129/apple-announces-ios-8-adoption-has-already-reached-46)). The numbers also indicate that 49% of users are using iOS 7 while 5% of users are on older versions of iOS.

 Earlier this month, Apple's analytics indicated (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/) that 92% of devices connected to the App Store were using iOS 7, while 7% were using iOS 6 and 1% were on earlier versions of the mobile operating system. In December 2013, iOS 7 usage was at 74 percent (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/12/05/apples-app-store-usage-numbers-suggest-ios-7-adoption-at-74/), which jumped to 78 percent (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/12/30/apples-app-store-usage-numbers-peg-ios-7-adoption-at-78/) later that month. In late January (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/27/ios-7-adoption-80/), iOS 7 usage was at 80% and then scaled to 85% in March (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/24/ios-7-adoption-85/).
 
 iOS 8 was released last Tuesday and brought several new features like Continuity, third-party keyboards, interactive notifications and more. However, a number of users have experienced a variety of problems (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/22/ios-8-issues-battery-drain-wifi/) with the operating system's initial release, including irregular battery drain, slow Wi-Fi, app crashes, and more.
