iOS 8 Adoption Inches Up 1% in December to Reach 64% [Chart]

Posted December 23, 2014 at 10:06pm by
Apple has announced that iOS 8 adoption has reached 64% as measured by the App Store on December 22nd. That's an increase of just 1% from December 8 when Apple last measured the number.

Adoption of iOS 8 was initially slower than iOS 7; however, it has been increasing steadily. Holiday sales of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are also likely to increase usage of the new operating system. It will be interesting to see how Christmas Day activations of new devices impact iOS 8's adoption rate.

My Pentium 2 doesn't run well on Windows 8, should I blame Windows 8 slick? 4S actually runs well, you simply need to do a clean install.
