Well in a way, since newer devices can’t use iOS 11. Similarly, a good portion of the 7.5% that are running iOS 10 or earlier are older devices that can’t be upgraded to 11/12.Won't these stats be diluted on Friday with the release of the XS and XS Max preorders and later with the XR?
I can’t even blame those who hesitate to upgrade. iOS 11 was a disaster for many months. iOS 12 seems to be quite the opposite though. At least my X doesn’t feel like I’m using a 5-year old device lol
I have this update, 12.1, installed on two iPhone 5s and am very pleased with the update. I have never been burned by an iOS update although iOS 8 did brick peoples’ phones, I wasn’t affected. But to me an update is “damn the torpedoes full steam ahead”.I'm waiting to hear from someone who installed this on an iPhone 5s as IOS 11 was a complete disaster for mine that I'm still aggravated and wish I could go back to IOS 10.
In reality, imo, ios 11.4.1 was perfectly fine for an iPhone 5s!as I have two that I use for testing. However iOS 12 has an inexplicably fluid quality that feels great.Exactly. From my anecdotal chats with friends, they were pretty disappointed with how iOS 11.0 ran. Ars Technica's data backs this conclusion up. iOS 11.0 was a bad upgrade for "day to day usage" on most iPhones.
If you went iOS 10.3.3 to iOS 11, you were in for a bad time. Notes took 33% longer to open. Safari took 25% longer to open. Mail took 28% longer to open.
Apple has no one but themselves to blame. iOS 11 was awarded Apple's "We are proud to stand behind this software" moniker. You--without question--immediately a lot of hard-won goodwill, Tim Cook.
It'll take ordinary consumers a significant amount of time to "regain trust", which will happen more by word of mouth than another 'iOS 12 is super fast!" YouTube video.
Android installs can barely hit 10% a year after launch.
I have learned my lesson after the other 11 iOS updates: Wait. Don't update.
Thx. These are pretty meaningful stats (over adoption rates that reflect the platform’s sheepiness index...)Exactly.

Apple has no one but themselves to blame for a below-average iOS 12 uptake. iOS 11 was awarded Apple's "We are proud to stand behind this software" moniker. You--without question--immediately lost a lot of hard-won goodwill, Tim Cook.

It's been 3 days! Why not carry out this research after 30 days?
It's just us basically!
