Nearly 90% of iPhones in the U.S. and Canada are running iOS 7, according to the latest study by Chitika Insights.

The company looked at iOS-based online ad impressions from May 22 through May 28, 2014.

Nearly 90% of U.S. and Canadian iPhone Web traffic is generated by users running some version of iOS 7. This share represents an increase of 5.4 percentage points since our February study on the subject.

Looking at iPad usage figures, while not quite matching the adoption rate on iPhones, iOS 7 users still constitute the vast majority of total U.S. and Canadian iPad Web traffic at just under 85%. This is a share increase of 6.3 percentage points since the February report.

Last year, iOS 6 adoption was at 92.7% for the iPhone and 82.9% for iPad prior to WWDC.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 8 next week. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Or people wanted change for the apps or better features.

It's not like we can go back to IOS 6 anymore! Thanks to Apple's unsigning of previous IOS versions. Anyone else notice the Apple pattern of releasing a major IOS upgrade and then, suddenly there is a problem with it...like security ... or some programs not working properly! OMG time to upgrade to the new and improved version .1, .2, ETC!! Sounds like a plan to get people off of their jailbroken devices!

Or try to get as many fixes possibly, but even the current iOS version has jailbreak but not to everyone yet.

I don't know about anyone else, but, Evasi0n jailbreak for iPhone 5 went into reboot loop, and was forced to update...waiting for 7.1 jailbreak. Boy, do I miss having a jailbroken iPhone !
