iOS 13 Now Installed on 55% of iPhones Introduced in Last Four Years

[MacRumors]

Apple has posted the first stats for iOS 13 adoption since its launch on September 19th for iPhone.

Apple shared the statistics on the App Store Developers page which was updated today. Apple reports that iOS 13 is installed on 55% of all iPhones introduced in the past four years, and 50% of all iPhone devices, as measured by App Store activity. The pace puts iOS 13 approximately on par with iOS 12 adoption last year which hit 53% of active devices in a slightly shorter timeframe and a different device breakdown.

This year, Apple has broken down the stats between both iOS 13 and iPadOS which were launched at different times this year. According to Apple, 41% of iPads from the past four years have upgraded to iPadOS, while 33% of all active iPads are on iPadOS.

Meanwhile, here on MacRumors, our analytics show an 84% iOS 13 adoption by our visitors on the same day that Apple measured -- October 15th.

Meanwhile apple can't give away free updates.

Meanwhile apple can't give away free updates.

? They already did, to half the iOS devices in the world in less than a month...

 

[Sasparilla]

Wow that is a huge a number for iOS at this point, considering the issues listed with the release.

Apple does a good job of pumping up those #'s by issuing public betas.
How many of those were already on a developer or public beta?

55% people have fallen victim of this disaster?
Damn!

I doubt that would make much of an impact. The type of person who would be likely to work with and install public betas would also be likely to do the actual upgrade rather promptly anyway.

Fess up - who are the holdouts here? 😉😁

And 55% regret it the moment they did.

Some of these updates are people that had the update FORCED on them, like my wife and she is super-angry at this.

Exactly my point.

Or in other words, 45% of IOS users are susceptible to hundreds of security vulnerabilities the likely don’t understand put them at risk.

And the other half? Terrible upgrade rates when the updates are free.

55% of iPhones Introduced in Last Four Years Now Running Worse Than Before


Fixed the headline for ya. 😅

 

[falainber]

Did they post information about how many users are having problems with iOS 13?

 

[zeesix]

I’m only part of this because I can’t downgrade to 12.4 anymore.

Just curious, how was she forced? Auto update is a user option, right? And why exactly is she angry and especially super-angry? What problem(s) has she actually encountered?
Thanks for sharing.

you know you can shut that off now right?

 

[katbel]

And 55% regret it the moment they did.

.. and 99% regrets TvOs13 pushed to the Apple Tv with "automatic update" off: I'm sure Tim Cook is happy and maybe 2 or 3 others at Apple headquarters.

After all I read I really DIDN"t want to update, but few days ago starting the TV, it was already proceeding to update it and my is off since ever!

 

[jeblis]

How about Catalina?

 

[citysnaps]

And 55% regret it the moment they did.

Zero regrets here. I suspect millions of others feel the same.

 

[falainber]

Meanwhile, over on Android....

Meanwhile, this year alone there were more Android phones sold than iPhones sold in the last four years combined. So, in all likelihood there are more Android users on the latest version of Android than iPhone users on iOS 13.

Thanks for sharing.

And I am not really a newbie, having visited this site (this name and a much older one) many, many times—I just haven’t posted very often since my reaction or comment had usually already been posted by others. This one concerned me enough to post.

Not sure what these disasters are. iOS 13 running GREAT on my XR and the gf's iPhone 7S. Super-smooth upgrade, zero issues, zero complaints.
