Apple Says iOS 11 is Installed on 52% of Devices

[MacRumors]

iOS 11 is now installed on 52 percent of iOS devices, according to new statistics that Apple shared today on its App Store support page for developers.

This is the first time that Apple has updated its App Store support page since the release of iOS 11, and the first look we've had at official installation numbers.

We've previously only seen installation estimates from analytics company Mixpanel, which appear to be quite a bit different. Mixpanel currently lists iOS 11 installation at just about 66 percent.

With iOS 11 installed on 52 percent of devices, 38 percent continue to run iOS 10. 10 percent are still on an earlier version of iOS.

iOS 11 adoption has been slower than iOS 10 adoption was last year, but the number of devices with the update installed has grown steadily since the new update was released.

Apple has thus far released several updates for iOS 11, including iOS 11.1, the first major iOS 11 update. iOS 11.1 introduced new emoji, brought back the 3D Touch App Switcher, and included some critical security fixes.

iOS 11.2, an update currently in testing, will be the first major update to bring a new feature -- Apple Pay Cash -- which could encourage additional users to upgrade to the new operating system.

Typo?

Incidentally, wish I hadn’t put my 6 in the 52%.

 

[sniffies]

While on Android, 52% can't decide which is the latest OS version

 

[dmx]

52 percent of all devices, or 52 percent of devices eligible for the upgrade?

 

[viperGTS]

I'm still waiting for Apple to finish Apple Pay Cash and iMessages in iCloud before updating. I don't want to keep repeatedly updating the OS either, so I might delay until a potential 11.3.x.

 

[FightTheFuture]

Great! A ▤ love it!

 

[now i see it]

ALWAYS wait for the .3 release- unless you're into bugs.

Unfortunately, as we've been sharing in an earlier thread discussing the latest public beta release this feature does not appear to be available outside of USA

iOS 11.2, an update currently in testing, will be the first major update to bring a new feature -- Apple Pay Cash -- which could encourage additional users to upgrade to the new operating system.

52 % of devices are running around 52 % slower.

Yet, all android phones are running as expected without slowing down their device.

 

[garirry]

Question, does this stat include devices that aren't compatible with iOS 11?

 

[JM]

I am the 38%. Unite.

Wish I hadn’t updated.
Battery issues from the moment I downloaded. All sorts of new but confusing areas.

 

[QCassidy352]

I caved and put 11.1 on my iPhone 7 because they didn’t make the KRACK fix available for iOS 10. 11 has been ok so far. I like the new control center and a few small features, but do not disturb while driving doesn’t work, and battery life is a bit worse. I’d say the loss of battery life makes it worse for me than iOS 10, but I wanted the security patch.

 

[robertosh]

It makes sense: new buys, accidental upgrades, no possible to downgrade....

 

[Chazzle]

Yet, all android phones are running as expected without slowing down their device.

You mean, all android phones are slowing down without running updates.

 

[JM]

I'll hold out until I'm confident 11 won't make me wish I didn't upgrade.

 

[mashdots]

Do we have a graph for the install percentage of the different android versions?

 

[iLoveDeveloping]

iPhone6 iOS10.3.3 here and LOVING IT!

 

[FightTheFuture]

Yet, all android phones are running as expected without slowing down their device.

We're really missing out, not running Marshmallow in 2017.

 

[WannaGoMac]

Never ever going to upgrade from 10.3.3 as 6+ is slow already. iOS 11 brings absolutely nothing I care about, just speed lost. Heck if I could go back to iOS 9 i would...

But wow Apple sure makes it a pain to avoid it, their popup screen kind of hides the NO thanks and pushes the "install it later thanks"

 

[KazKam]

I'm actually surprised it's that low, considering:

• how annoying Apple has made it to NOT upgrade
• all the new devices that can't run anything lower
• it's [almost] impossible to downgrade once regret sets in
• how far back iOS 11 is supported on older devices (though, as others have wondered, do these figures include all iOS devices, or just those that can run 11?)

 

[rcooked]

I️ am curious how long it will take to reach 75%

 

[Precision Gem]

11 runs fine on my iPad Pro, but basically made my iPhone 6 useless. Everthing on the iPHone 6 takes 5 or 6 seconds, when with IOS 10 the same things would take less than 1 second.
I’m sure Apple builds this in to force you to upgrade your phone.

Totally agree. My 6+ is a dog on iOS11.
