Apple devices are preferred by millions of consumers around the world because of the company’s consistent release of software updates exclusive to its hardware products. But Apple seems to have done a much better job with the release of iOS 12 this year considering its faster adoption rate compared to earlier versions.
Analytics firm Mixpanel released its findings stating that iOS 12 has an advantage over its predecessor iOS 11 that was launched in 2017. Both software updates were released in September of their respective years, which is also the consistent schedule from Apple.
More than two months later, Mixpanel revealed that majority of the iPhone and iPad users today have already switched to iOS 12. As for Thursday, Nov. 29, the analytics firm puts the iOS 12 users at 75.27 percent out of all the active iPhone and iPads.
On the other hand, the iOS 11 had a better first week from its release compared to the iOS 12. On Sept. 25, 2017, there was a recorded 33.16 percent iOS 11 users while on Sept. 24, 2018 iOS 12 was only adopted by 28.53 percent of the active iOS users.
Several weeks later, iOS 12 started to pull away by the recorded adoption rate among iPhone and iPad customers. Around this time, the iOS 11 was only installed by 72.03 percent and will not reach the 75 percent mark until Dec. 18, 2017.
Meanwhile, Mixpanel claims that they have pulled the iOS 12 adoption rate data from 903,575,011,970 records of an array of sources. However, those were apparently not coming straight from any of the Apple offices. With that, AppleInsider suggests that the results may not be absolutely accurate though it still gives consumers a fair estimation on the reception of iOS 12.
On other related news, Apple has stopped signing the iOS 12.0.1 version this week. iPhone and iPad users can no longer revert back to running their devices on any update earlier than iOS 12.1.
