iOS 11 Installed on 10% of Devices 24 Hours After Launch

I am very familiar with it as I’ve been having from beta 1.

Well, you've got to ask yourself what's going on when you are the first commenter in the world to say that iOS 11 doesn't have anything to offer.

I would like to download and install iOS 11 to my iPad Pro, but every time I check for Software Update I get the message "iOS 10.3.3 Your software is up to date." Is there any way to "force" the download? Someone said to hook the iPad up to my Mac and download iOS 11 from iTunes, but I don't see that option in iTunes.

And those that do most of the time end up useless. I am so afraid to even go back and try android again.

Most of the time end up useless? Clearly you had some sort of bad experience, but that's not the case at all. Android has matured to the point where it is just as good as ios. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

This is bad. 50% battery drain in less than hour just going on Facebook.
And phone hot to touch.
Not happy. This is on iPhone 7plus.
Why can't apple test their iOS fully before release. Every B****y time this kind of thing happens. Puts you off iPhones for good.
I haven't heard android becoming useless after every update!

When you first update, it may be doing some of the new scans thru photos and other changes for the release. I'd give it a few days before you assume that you are getting typical usage on the phone.

Not for me just switched over to the Samsung Galaxy S8.

Amazing Phone.

You can always re-charge your phone. But that is one hour of your life you will never get back.

Apple's newest operating system, iOS 11, is seeing slower adoption rates than iOS 10 saw during the same adoption period last year, according to data collected by analytics company Mixpanel. As of 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, 24 hours after iOS 11 was released, the OS is installed on 10.01 percent of devices.

24 hours after iOS 10 was released last year, it was installed on 14.45 percent of devices. iOS 9, after its release in 2015, was installed on 12.60 percent of devices 24 hours after launch, and iOS 8 saw similar adoption rates in 2014.

iOS 11 was not affected by installation issues or other problems like iOS 10 was, but past issues with new iOS releases may be keeping some users from upgrading right away. The iOS 11 update also disables all 32-bit apps, another factor that could be holding some users back.

Adoption rates often spike up a bit over the weekend when people have more free time to make major software updates to their devices, so iOS 11 could catch up to iOS 10 at that point.

As people begin adopting iOS 11, iOS 10 adoption is trending downward. iOS 10 is now installed on 84.55 percent of devices, while 5.44 percent of users continue to run an older version of iOS.

iOS 11 is a free download that's available for download on the iPhone 5s and later, iPad mini 2 and later, and the 6th generation iPod touch. There are dozens of new features in iOS 11 and several overhauled interface elements, so it's worth an upgrade if you haven't already.

[doublepost=1506085154][/doublepost]I installed on my phone and vast majority of my games no longer run.. have advised wife not to update and won’t be updating my iPads (3 in number) any time soon 32bit support being dropped means I loose one of the things tying me to apple- the eco system.
Hopefully we’ll get an option to add 32bit support. Or I’ll move eco systems as expense of my obselete library being lost is painful. As EA bought and killed of some of my favourite games developers (flight control and Chuzzle).
[doublepost=1506085550][/doublepost]

That is all? Is that because of the 32-bit app issue?

I installed on my phone and noted how many of my go to games don’t work as EA bought out the developers (flight control and chuzzle, for example) and advised wife not to upgrade and also not upgrading my 3 iPads.
So for me it’s s major yes.
[doublepost=1506085644][/doublepost]

I didn't kill him your honour, I simply pulled a trigger that released a teeny-tiny hammer.

A rose is still a rose by any other name. So yes they killed off the 32bit support killing off all the legacy games.

Quite possibly where Apple have deemed in their sick and twisted wisdom that your hardware is obsolete.

People are already switching back to 10.3.3. Apple could be evil and stop signing 10.3.3 so there's no going back to prop up his adoption numbers.

 

[JosephAW]

Still on iOS 10 here, but I noticed something interesting and maybe this is part of the problem of the slow adoption for the general public. That is, I have not received any notification of this update in the Settings app.
Normally when there is a new update my iPhone will automatically download it and then prompt me to install it; which I will say NO and then I delete it; but most users choose YES because they don't know anything about operating systems or how to use the iPhone except to play games and make phone calls and text.
I checked usage and there is no data showing for the Settings app. So the slow adoption rate may be Apple's own fault.

 

[I7guy]

My entire family and all iphones above 5s are already on ios 11. Nobody is having any issues other than some of the lag and stutter in 3dt and the cellular app that has already been discussed. I can't see going back to ios 10.3.3.

 

[Swazaloo]

Because every android manufacturer pretty much has their own custom version built on top of vanilla android and carriers review updates differently. So Sprint users might get an update today, but Verizon users might not for another month.

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised people prefer this... sounds like a nightmare.

It's annoying, but it's not that bad. The average person isn't waiting around for updates like us tech nerds are. They are just using their phones. I doubt most of them even know about the timing discrepancies between the carriers. Or even care if they do.

The entire metric seems to start really losing meaning when taking into account that some 200 million devices were just added to the pool of those outright incapable of updating to the latest iOS.

I mean, my own household will peak at 50% installation on active devices, down from 100% two days ago.

Could you elaborate more about the metric part?

(sorry for late reply, didn't see a notification until now)

Every time an OS is released and still-active models lose support in it, the further you get from being able to achieve 100%. If we're not comparing *eligble* device adoption rates, instead basing it on *total active* devices, "10%" isn't a meaningful metric... it hasn't been adjusted for proper comparison.

If there are (say) 1B active devices running iOS 10, and 200M of those can't install iOS 11, it can only achieve 80% adoption. Thus the 10% adoption rate shown here is really 12.5% (of devices that *can* update). That's still slower than the iOS 10 rate, but right in line with the 8 and 9 numbers given.

Another word: unmeasurable. I agree.
